Who is required to provide MSDS or SDS for a solvent you are using?

1. OSHA

2. The manufacturer

3. Your employer

4. Your supervisor

The correct answer is: OSHA

MSDS or SDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheet or Safety Data Sheet. This document provides important information about the potential hazards of a substance, safety precautions, and instructions for safe handling, storage, and disposal. It is a legal requirement for employers to provide MSDS/SDS to their employees for any hazardous substances they come into contact with at work. In this scenario, the employer would obtain the MSDS/SDS from the manufacturer and provide it to their employees. Therefore, the correct answer is not the manufacturer (B) or the supervisor (D), as they are not responsible for providing the MSDS/SDS. While your supervisor (D) may have a copy of the MSDS/SDS, they are not the primary entity responsible for providing it. OSHA (A) is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which is a government agency that sets and enforces workplace safety standards. They require employers to provide MSDS/SDS to their employees, therefore, A is the correct answer. Your employer (C) is responsible for ensuring that MSDS/SDS are provided to their employees, so this answer is also incorrect.
