Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is the standardized document for each cleaning chemical that lists its hazards, safe handling, protective equipment, and first-aid measures, which OSHA requires employers to keep accessible to staff.
In Depth
Every hazardous product used on site must have a current SDS available to workers, who are trained to read it. SDS binders or digital libraries are a standard item inspectors check during a hazard-communication review.
Why It Matters
SDS access is a core OSHA requirement and a frontline worker-safety tool. Missing or outdated sheets are a common, citable compliance failure.
