Says an expert in business use of chemicals:
"We do indeed use some really toxic stuff in the house & no MSDS unless you have at least 2 employees.
You can kill yourself, but not an employee." Nobody Knows-music
Some Ideas shared by a Pro in the Field:
If you have two employees, you have to post or
have easy access to MSDS for all products the employees will use. This includes
one or more maids who clean in your home - you must obtain MSDS for Clorox,
Tide, Spray N Wash, silver polish, Windex, etc. If you use it yourself, then you
are entitled to screw up and kill yourself, by accident, for not reading the
label - but woe betide you if your employee mixed ammonia and Clorox and gets
fatally ill and you did not OFFER MSDS for the products. Of course if you have
them available and nobody reads them - hey that is their problem (unless you
have 50 employees and then you are required to have a safety officer and give
seminars to be sure they ARE educated).
Incidentally, you tell the companies that you have an employee and OSHA requires
you to have an MSDS on hand and they MUST GIVE YOU ONE - BY LAW. If not, call
OSHA and tell them who would not give you an MSDS. Now nothing says the MSDS has
to be well written or even accurate, but they must have one and they must give
it to YOU, if asked.
Once you have the MSDS, call the help phone number and tell them your dog drank
the stuff, so what should you do, or your kid took a bath in it and is
screaming. You can learn a LOT that way too. Not exactly ethical, but its one
way to learn. By the way, you did not get this harebrained idea from ME. Unh unh
- not me.
