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