Second Question

Do we have to keep MSDS' on cleaning products?
Answer: You do not have to keep an MSDS on cleaning products if you are keeping them in household quantities. I could not get OSHA to give me a definition on household quantities. OSHA also wants you to go above and beyond the regulations, so if you have a chemical that you know to be hazardous to your employees, it is always best to keep and MSDS on that chemical. It is your guess as to what that quantitiy may be. If you go to Wal-Mart and buy one can of Endust, you could get away without an MSDS on that product according to Josh Flesher of the Dallas Area OSHA Office, however, if that chemical poses a health risk to your employees, then you have a known hazard and you must mitigate that hazard according to OSHA. The only way to know if that is a hazardous chemical, is if you have an MSDS on file, so we are back to the beginning. Get an MSDS on it!
