sesenic [268]

The correct answer is "the right to know what chemicals that they will be exposed to on a daily basis."

Further Explanation:

The employee should be given a materials data sheet, information about all chemicals they will be working with and the effects of the chemicals on their health. This is federal and state law that was put into place to protect workers.

The employee should also be given a list of disease and symptoms that can occur when working with or in proximity to these chemicals. Any employee that is working with hazardous chemicals should be trained in handling the chemicals, wearing the correct clothing, and what to do in an emergency.
