How to make a MSDS book

For the purpose of this website SDS and MSDS are synonymous. Most people are still searching for MSDS, and for that reason we’ve continued to use the phrase ourselves. SDS books, (M)sds books, (formerly Msds Books) are what is described within these pages. We are now printing all new Msds binders with “SDS” or safety data sheets.

The first thing you need to do is take an inventory of the products that are used by your employees that may require any type of special handling to prevent adverse effects from occurring.

You’ll have to find all your msds sheets online, and this could take some time so we’ve included the online msds search. This is a customized search engine that searches the whole internet and brings back results for msds sheets.

The index for your msds book could be as simple as the inventory list with the corresponding page number of each msds sheet for the products that you will include in your binder.

If you buy an msds book from us, we organized msds binders into three basic sections. The first of which, the hazard communications policy itself is further divided into three sections.The three basic sections of our msds binders are as follows.

OSHA doesn’t provide us with any msds binder requirements as far as the layout or organization of the binder goes. But OSHAs hazard communication standard is very specific about several things related to your msds book or binder.

Your initial inventory should have provided you with a list of all of the products that were on site and you needed a safety data sheet for. Some fine tuning may be needed as time goes by and you change products or add to the products you normally use.

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is based on a simple concept - that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and identities of the chemicals they are exposed to when working.
