SAFETY DATA SHEETS SDS are commonly kept in a standard 3-ring type of binder which is labelled,  SAFETY DATA SHEETS.  EVERY CONTROLLED PRODUCT USED AT A SPECIFIC WORKSITE MUST HAVE THE CORRESPONDING SDS INFORMATION AVAILABLE
This would also include field worksites where the SDS information may be in a pickup truck that is NOT LOCKED.

SDS INFORMATION may be in any language and ALL workers must be able to understand them. 

SDS INFORMATION may be on a computer as long as ALL workers know how to access this information on the computer.

The downside to a computerized SDS system is that an emergency incident may cause a power outage at the critical time when the SDS information is needed.


2015 SDS - No expiry - Valid until a "substantial" change to the controlled product information occurs.

Understand there are thousands of controlled products that require and have SDS's.  

One of the quickest ways to find an appropriate SDS is via the internet.  (although the SDS should be accessible in your work place)


WHMIS / GHS 2015 SDS

Safety Data Sheet


SAFETY DATA SHEET (SDS)

A technical document providing information on a controlled product, for example:

  • hazardous ingredients

  • hazards (fire, explosion, reactivity)

  • health effects of exposure (acute and chronic)

  • hazard evaluation related to storage and handling
  • measures to protect workers
  • emergency procedures

Note

WHMIS 2015 / GHS - SDS is only valid UNTIL SUCH A TIME AS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE PRODUCT AND THE SUPPLIER UPDATES THEIR SDS
