I have MSDSs for everything now. So for our older chemicals from vendors/manufacturers that no longer exist do you recommend getting a GHS compliant SDS for
the same chemical from another manufacturer?
That’s what we have been doing, but I just wasn’t sure about the regs.
Thanks,
Shelly

Short answer: If you have an MSDS, just stick with it. I would discourage anyone from making their own SDS because they would then be the "responsible party" and presumably inherit all of the legal responsibilities that brings
https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=28796 And even so, use it up or dispose of it as waste to make your compliance that much easier.
Broadening the scope of that question a little more, if you don't have an MSDS of any sort, then that's a problem. MSDS's have been required since 1986, so failure to have an (M)SDS is the employer's fault, as the manufacturer would have
been able to provide one at the time the material was procured. In my mind that is more than a de minimus violation because it means that the employer has clearly been lacking the required sheet for a significant period of time.

What about when the vendor/manufacturer no longer exists?
FYI - We are a private college in a non-plan state so are regulated by federal OSHA.

Do I need GHS compliant Safety Data Sheets for existing chemicals? Yes, by June 1,2015
Do I still keep the original MSDS as well? Yes, depending the states the law says for 30yrs plus the time of the employment of your employees
Do they have to be from the original manufacturer? They should be from your vendor/manufacturer.
What if the manufacturer no longer exist?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Shelly
