SDS Sources

There are 2 options to access SDS documents: 1. Locate and bookmark relevant sites from the supplier or 2. Print a hardcopy and keep in a binder in your lab or work area. Regulations require that SDS files more than 3 years old (based on release date) must be updated. It is recommended that you produce a collection of the hazardous chemicals stored in your work area so that it can be consulted in the event of an emergency. More importantly, review the document(s) before something happens; you won't have time to do this if the room is on fire or a hazardous spill has occurred.

Although you may have purchased a chemical from a specific supplier, SDS documents of the same item from different suppliers will still be acceptable (in the event you cannot access the original supplier page).
