Well I work in the food section of CostCo. Not quite sure if it qualifies as a restraunt. Haven't seen the MSDS posted anywhere. I'd ask my manager but I don't wanna seem like an ass, I AM greatful she took me in!

And ouch  I'm sorry to hear that.

No training (that I know of). Apparently there's an instructional video on how to clean the ovens, but I haven't seen it. I had the guy who works there teach me how to do that.

I'd read the MSDS about that particular chemical but it sounds like you need at minimum gloves, glasses and a face mask

PPE? Job hazard analysis? I did get one for when i was woring at the food court, but I didn't see one for the Rotisserie. I also didn't take the time to look through the papers because the manager came up to me at a busy time while I was working. Kinda smart if you think about it.
We get rubber gloves and latex gloves, but that's about it...

How do I learn my rights without seeming like.... you know, those people that managers hate because they have the knowledge to get them in trouble?
