Section 296-62-05310. Reveal trade secret information when it is needed in order to treat a medical or first-aid emergency.

Latest version.

When a physician or nurse treating a patient determines that a medical emergency exists and the specific chemical identity of a toxic substance or hazardous chemical is necessary for emergency or first-aid treatment, you must immediately disclose the specific chemical identity of a trade secret chemical to the treating physician or nurse.

You must do this even if you do not have a written statement of need or a confidentiality agreement from the physician or nurse who is handling the medical emergency.

You may require a written statement of need and confidentiality agreement, in accordance with the provisions of nonemergency situations and confidentiality agreement of this rule (see WAC 296-62-05315), as soon as the circumstances of the medical emergency permit.
