What materials are we required to provide MSDS on construction sites?
PVC glue, joint compound, anti-oxidant compound, cutting oil and possibly spray paint is all I can think of.

Just about anything liquid or adhesive has one, you can add fire caulk and cad-weld material to the list.

The HazCom standard has been changing. A substantial part of the process just wen into effect June 1 with regard to the way the information is presented. MSDS sheets are now SDS and have additional information presented in a new format. Manufactures have been required to use them for the past year and now we are required to have updated SDS logs.

Funny you mention this. I pulled the SDS for distilled water. It says that if you get distilled water in your eyes, to flush it out with water for 15 minutes. :happyyes: Like already mentioned above, if you use chemicals, other than consumer products used as intended, then you need one. A lot of your sealants and such will have formaldehyde, which requires additional training, etc.

The HazComm Standard applies to "Hazardous Chemicals."

"Hazardous chemical" means any chemical which is classified as a physical hazard or a health hazard, a simple asphyxiant, combustible dust, pyrophoric gas, or hazard not otherwise classified.

Physical hazard means a chemical that is classified as posing one of the following hazardous effects: explosive; flammable (gases, aerosols, liquids, or solids); oxidizer (liquid, solid or gas); self-reactive; pyrophoric (liquid or solid); self-heating; organic peroxide; corrosive to metal; gas under pressure; or in contact with water emits flammable gas.

Health hazard means a chemical which is classified as posing one of the following hazardous effects: acute toxicity (any route of exposure); skin corrosion or irritation; serious eye damage or eye irritation; respiratory or skin sensitization; germ cell mutagenicity; carcinogenicity; reproductive toxicity; specific target organ toxicity (single or repeated exposure); or aspiration hazard

But there's a lot of stuff NOT covered, like hazardous waste, tobacco, food and alcohol, cosmetics, consumer products used for their intended purpose in their intended manner, and others.
