SDS
Re: SDS
Has any one got any more information on this as from march 2018. One staff member is telling me that we don't have to print as long as we can access on line which could even be through ipad or phone and another one is saying that we now have to have them all printed, help please.

Re: SDS
Hi Pinky
The legislation says that the SDSs have to be available to all workers who use the substance. The issue with the digital format, is what happens if there is a problem accessing this data, e.g. black out, internet outage etc. So it is up to your school which way you go. Here, I have relied on the printed format with copies in science and the front office.
If you keep searching on Chemtalk, I am sure I have ranted over the pros and cons before.

Re: SDS
Hi Kate,
In that instance, I would use the ChemWatch "Gold SDS" The manufacturer's SDS is what is stipulated, but a good "wrong" SDS has got to be better than NO SDS. I'm sure that ANY sensible magistrate would concede that in court, if the "proper" one was not available!
Cheers
