Sec. 31-40n. Trade secret protections. Registration with Labor Commissioner. When an employer or an employer's supplier claims that revealing the identity
of a toxic substance, pursuant to the requirements of sections 31-40j to 31-40p, inclusive,
would constitute the disclosure of a legally protectable trade secret, he may register this
information as a trade secret with the Labor Commissioner. The commissioner shall
assign a registry number to the substance. No employee of the Labor Department shall
disclose to any person the identity of any substance so registered, except as required
under the provisions of section 1-210. When responding to any request for information
under the provisions of sections 31-40j to 31-40p, inclusive, such employer or supplier
may refer to such substance by its registry number, and the employer or supplier shall
not be required to reveal the name of such substance. All other information concerning
such substance shall be provided by the employer or supplier as required by the provisions of sections 31-40j to 31-40p, inclusive.
