Explicación
The OSHA Hazard Communication standard requires a Safety Data Sheet for every hazardous chemical in the workplace, with standardized sections covering hazards, handling, exposure controls, first aid, and spill response, kept accessible to workers at all times. Containers must also be labeled with the product identifier and hazard information. Invoices, device instructions, and equipment manuals do not carry this required chemical hazard information.
