Explanation
An SDS must be kept at the salon for every chemical product used or stored there, and employees as well as Board and Cal/OSHA inspectors must be able to look at them. Each sheet lists the hazards, ingredients, first aid, safe handling, storage and required protective equipment. They are not limited to flammable products, they are not kept offsite, and every employee has the right to read them.
