In order to ensure that you have a current MSDS for each
chemical in the plant and that employee access is provided as required, the compliance
officers will be looking for the following types of information in your written program:
- Designation of person(s) responsible for obtaining and maintaining the MSDSs
- How such sheets are to be maintained in the workplace (e.g., in notebooks in the work
area(s) or in a computer with terminal access), and how employees can obtain access to
them when they are in their work area during the work shift
- Procedures to follow when the MSDS is not received at the time of the first shipment
- For producers, procedures to update the MSDS when new and significant health information
is found
- Description of alternatives to actual data sheets in the workplace, if used.
