Except as otherwise provided in section 15 of this act, an employer shall have until October 30, 1985, or within 90 days of the employer's receipt of the workplace survey, whichever is later, to complete the survey and transmit a copy of the completed survey to the Department of Health, the health department of the county in which the employer's facility is located, the local fire department, and the local police department.

The department shall have the responsibility to obtain the chemical names and Chemical Abstracts Service numbers of the components of the mixture so listed, and, upon obtaining this information, shall transmit it to the employer along with any appropriate hazardous substance fact sheet or sheets and directions to the employer on how to communicate this information to his employees.

b. Except as otherwise provided in section 15 of this act, an employer shall transmit a copy of the completed environmental survey to the Department of Environmental Protection and the health department of the county in which the employer's facility is located, and pertinent sections of the survey to the local fire department and the local police department on the date on which Toxic Chemical Release Forms are due to be transmitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to 42 U.S.C. s.11023.
