Chapter 15 – Trade Secrets

 

A trade secret could be a formula, device, pattern or compilation of information used in one’s business and provides them the opportunity for advantage over competitors.

OSHA requires that employers shall make trade secret information available to:

  • Compile PSI
  • Assist the development of PHAs
  • Developing operating procedures
  • Individuals involved with incident investigations, emergency planning and compliance audits

Failure of providing trade secrets could prevent the identification of some possible hazardous scenarios.
