Safety Data Sheets

Products and chemicals that are considered to be hazardous must have an SDS on file in the department where they will be used. 

Each department at UCM is responsible for maintaining a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) file for all chemicals within their department.  At UCM, these SDSs can be stored in a binder in the area where the chemicals are used.  The binder must be maintained and updated by that department and must be easily accessible for all employees.  An online SDS Database (ucmo.chemicalsafety.com) contains some of the SDSs for chemicals and products used in most universities.  This database will be expanded as additional departments are inventoried.  Individuals can also send a request to EHS to have an SDS added.  If the chemical or product was not purchased through UCMarket, a copy of the SDS must be sent to EHS.
