Material Safety Data Sheets
- Occupational Safety and Health Services will be responsible for ensuring that a master Material Safety Data Sheets file is compiled and maintained. The master file will be located in the Chemistry Stores facility.
- Each department will designate where the Material Safety Data Sheets for all hazardous chemicals to which various employees may be exposed will be kept and ensure that they are systematically organized and that each affected employee knows how to access them.
- The Purchasing Department will make requests for Material Safety Data Sheets on all Purchase Orders. Employees who purchase hazardous chemicals that require a Material Safety Data Sheet shall be responsible for ensuring that one is received and a copy forwarded to the Chemical Stores facility for placement in the master file if the purchase was not made through the Purchasing Department.
- Department supervisors and faculty will be responsible for properly displaying the required MIOSHA Right To Know poster and postings for notifying employees of new or revised Material Safety Data Sheets in their areas.
- The faculty member supervising students or other employees who transport or ship laboratory preparations outside the laboratory or University shall ensure that a material safety data sheet is prepared and included with the chemical or shipment.
