Who are employers required to inform of the degree of exposure likely as a result of participation in hazardous waste operations?

• A. Supervisors
• B. Employees and Contractors
• C. The Public
• D. Government Agencies

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that those who are directly involved in hazardous waste operations need to know how much exposure they might face. Employers are required to inform workers and contractors about the degree of exposure likely as a result of participating in the operations. This ensures they understand the risks, can interpret exposure monitoring results, and take appropriate protective actions, including using proper PPE and pursuing medical surveillance if required.

Public audiences are not the focus of this requirement; the rule targets those at risk on the site. Government agencies may review records or be involved in regulatory processes, but the direct obligation to inform about exposure levels lies with employees and contractors who participate in the work.
