State and federal laws require that all supervisors provide ready access to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for the chemicals that their employees use.
MyChem stores over 385,000 MSDSs and links each of your inventoried chemicals to a relevent MSDS. You do not need a MyChem account to view and print MSDSs.
MyChem MSDS tips:
- Employees must have direct and ready access to MSDSs. Even if you use MyChem, you should keep paper copies of all MSDSs in your workplace, in an accessible location, in case of emergencies. If employees do not have the ability or desire to use computers or MyChem, you must have paper copies of the MSDSs readily available to them.
- A few MSDSs listed in MyChem are available in paper form only. If you get a message that the MSDS you need is not available online, request a copy via MyChem.
- If you receive an MSDS that is not yet in MyChem, make a copy of it and send the original to "EH&S MSDS Coordinator, Box 354110".
