Product Hazardous Information Setup overview

Existing records are listed in the grid. Search for a record by sheet number or language code.

When selling products to foreign customers who require an MSDS, specify the language code in Product Hazardous Information Setup to print the MSDS in your customer’s language. If the Language Code field is blank, the domestic language is used.

Hazardous designations are made by the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and its worldwide counterparts. The designation is often required on shipping and export documents. Employers and vendors are responsible for providing an MSDS to their employees and customers.

The MSDS is the primary tool for communicating the health hazards, safe handling methods, and emergency procedures for each hazardous material. Anytime the formulation of a hazardous product is changed, manufacturers are required to submit a revised MSDS. You must also update your MSDS information.

Use SM Extended Totals Hazardous Report to track the last purchase and the last date an MSDS was sent out. If changes are made to an MSDS sheet after the last sent date, a new MSDS must be sent.

Hazardous products require an MSDS to be made available to employees and customers. Use a combination of these programs to keep track of which products are considered hazardous:

• Product Setup
• Product Hazardous Info Setup
• SM Extended Totals Hazardous Report
• Product Hazardous Materials (MSDS) Report
