Abstract
OSHA mandates that each product used commercially which contains any hazardous ingredient must be accompanied by a Material Safety Data Sheet or MSDS upon entering a facility if there is one or more people employed at that location. The MSDS was initially designed to convey important safety hazard information and measures to protect persons who may come in contact with a product, including employees, fire fighters, etc. Current, revised, and obsolete MSDS must be kept on file at a facility for 30 years or as long as the company is in business (whichever comes first).
