available in the work area throughout each work shift. If workers speak languages other than English, the
information in the other language(s) may be added to the material.
Note: After Dec. 1, 2015, distributors may not ship containers labeled by the chemical manufacturer or importer
unless the label on the container meets GHS labeling requirements.
Safety Data Sheets
A SDS will be obtained and maintained for each hazardous chemical in the workplace. SDSs for each hazardous
chemical will be readily accessible during each work shift to workers when they are in their work areas.
SDSs will be obtained from the chemical manufacturer, importer or distributor. The name on the SDS will be the
same as that listed on the chemical inventory list. SDSs for chemicals or process streams produced by the
company will be developed and provided by the Safety Coordinator or delegate.
The Safety Coordinator or delegate will maintain the master file of all original SDSs. Hard copies of the master
file will be in the ENTER LOCATION HERE.
SDSs for new products or updated SDSs for existing products will be obtained by the purchasing agent or
delegate and forwarded to the safety coordinator. The Safety Coordinator or delegate will then update the
master file with new and/or updated SDSs.
If problems arise in obtaining an SDS from the chemical manufacturer, importer or distributor, a phone call will
be made to request an SDS and to verify that the SDS has been sent. The phone call will be logged and a letter
will be sent the same day. The company will maintain a written record of all efforts to obtain SDSs. If these
efforts fail to produce an SDS, the local OSHA office will be contacted for assistance.
