A safety data sheet (SDS), or formerly referred to as material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.
The short answer is yes; however, there are conditions that must be met. Please read full article here.
According to OSHA, the SDS includes information such as the properties of each chemical; the physical, health, and environmental health hazards; protective measures; and safety precautions for handling, storing, and transporting the chemical.
The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)), revised in 2012, requires that the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or importer provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs or Material Safety Data Sheets) for each hazardous chemical to downstream users to communicate information on these hazards.
Every chemical manufacturer or importer must provide an SDS for any hazardous materials they sell or store. Moreover, OSHA requires that all facilities in the United States keep an SDS for every hazardous chemical onsite.
If you want to find out more about SDS, visit the guide to understanding Safety Data Sheets (SDS) here.
The best way to find a safety data sheet is to contact the manufacturer, supplier, or importer of the product. They are required by law to provide SDS for any hazardous products they sell or distribute. You can also search for Safety Data Sheets at Chemical Safety’s Free SDS Database.
Tier II reporting is a system used by states to collect and publish information about the hazardous chemicals stored and used by businesses and institutions in their area. The Tier II reporting system is part of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which was passed by the US Congress in 1986. The Act requires businesses and institutions that use or store hazardous chemicals to report this information to the state emergency response commission, the local emergency planning committee, and the local fire department. The information that is reported includes the name, location, and amount of each chemical, as well as any potential hazards associated with it. The purpose of Tier II reporting is to provide first responders and the public with information that can help them prepare for and respond to chemical emergencies.
