OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has mandated that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) be available for all the hazardous materials and substances found in the workplace. Many business owners do what they can to comply but basically view it as a necessary evil. They often know somebody that can put something together or they pay somebody they find in an ad or on the internet, but how can they really be sure they are getting a good product?
One way is to use an experienced chemist who knows the requirements. I can take your formulas and pile of papers and turn them into a clear, understandable MSDS that complies with the American National Standard for Hazardous Industrial Chemicals - Material Safety Data Sheets - Preparation, ANSI Z400, 2005 Revision. This is the well-organized 16 section version that can actually be useful to employees and transportation workers. My expertise in searching the chemical literature, many reference works and access to academic libraries allows me to assemble a superior product to protect your employees and your business. I understand the OSHA regulations and the additional regulations by DOT, EPA, and other agencies that contribute to the content of the MSDS.

When you call we'll discuss what information and documentation you already have and how much more we need. Typically you would need to provide:
A typical 5-componet mixture costs only about $500. There are discounts for multiple documents or for several similar products. Stop wondering if your MSDSs are up to date or done right. Call me and know for sure.
