Remember you must keep the MSDS Sheets stored in your folder when you remove a

product from service in your establishment.



For those of you who do retail....please remember you must have a MSDS Sheet on

those products also. 



The MSDS Sheets for each product must be in alphabetical order with indexes and

dividers for each section.

Please remember NO MATTER what you are told, your distributor or supplier must 

furnish you with the proper MSDS Sheets for the products you order. If they try

to tell you it is not needed because it is a Negative MSDS....you still want it.

The OSHA Representative will write you up as you are required to prove your 

statement. The only way is to have that MSDS Sheet. Please remember that the 

fines start at $1000 per item with no MSDS Sheet. Also keep in mind that all 

products are not created equal. If you are have an MSDS Sheet for "Comet"

you better not have a can of "Ajax" on your shelf! You will be fined. You will

find that getting the same brand keeps you from constantly changing MSDS Sheets.

The time and energy involved costs more than the few cents you save.

On all animal related products look to your distributor or supplier. On common

household items that you purchase at the store you will need to call the 800

number on the product. The companies are quite advanced and you will hear them

ask you if it is concerning an MSDS Sheet on one of their products. They will

get your name and info and send you the MSDS Sheet on the product or products

you request. Drugs stores should be able to help on medical products.

MSDS Sheets can be found on the WEB for those name brand printers and copiers.

Just do a search for your brand and you will find MSDS Sheets listed and the

instructions for obtaining them.
