A Material Safety Data Sheet must be provided with the initial shipment of a hazardous chemical, and with the first shipment after a Material Safety Data Sheet is updated.

It is the responsibility of the buyer / user to maintain the MSDSs after they are received from the manufacturer or reseller. It is also the employer's responsibility to maintain exposure information , including MSDSs. Waste disposal options and regulations can only be determined when a waste is produced - not because of old information from an msds

All:

A chemical manufacturer ceased producing/selling a specific chemical 30 years ago.  Someone approached them today and asked/demanded a MSDS.  Further, they stated that =93OSHA requires the manufacturer to provide exposure and disposal information for 30 years=94.

 

While I am convinced the quoted statement is the person confusing the employee exposure monitoring date retention requirement, I thought I would mine the collective wisdom/memory to be sure I am not missing something.

 

Thanks in advance
