Safety Data Sheet information can be obtained from which source?

Safety Data Sheet information can be obtained from which source?

• A. Computer Aided Management of Emergency Operations
• B. National Response Center
• C. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• D. The employer of the facility

Answer: (D)

Safety Data Sheets are provided and kept by the employer for all hazardous chemicals used or stored at the facility. The employer is responsible for making these sheets accessible to workers and responders, as required by the Hazard Communication Standard. While regulators like OSHA require SDSs and tools like CAMEO can help you access chemical data, the primary source you would rely on for the specific facility’s chemicals is the employer’s SDS file. The National Response Center is for reporting incidents, not for obtaining SDSs.
