Question

You are working to bring a healthcare facility into compliance with the Safety Data Sheet–related provisions of OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard. You interview administrative personnel at the facility. You learn that the facility has compiled a list of all hazardous chemicals to which workers in the facility might be exposed. An SDS corresponding to each chemical on the list has been obtained and filed. For full compliance, you advise that this facility also must:_______.

Answer 1

The safety data sheet (SDS) may be defined as a type of standard document that includes the health data and occupational safety. The chemical hazard or any hazard information must be listed in the SDS.

The one should ensure that the SDS files must be easily and instantly available to the employees and the workers included in their areas at all the times. In the HCS, the workers are not at all responsible for the verification of the accuracy of SDS or collecting the list of all the emergency numbers.
