Shelly,

For our "historic" chemicals (i.e. from when Dr. Whoknows retired 40 years
ago and left his chems behind) that were shipped back in the day before
MSDS, we make our own. This can be time consuming, so until we have our own
created, we find a respected manufacturer/supplier and download their SDS
for the chemical.

Thanks!
What about when the vendor/manufacturer no longer exists?

FYI - We are a private college in a non-plan state so are regulated by
federal OSHA.

Do I need GHS compliant Safety Data Sheets for existing chemicals?
Yes, by June 1,2015
Do I still keep the original MSDS as well?
Yes, depending the states the law says for 30yrs plus the time of the
employment of your employees
Do they have to be from the original manufacturer?
They should be from your vendor/manufacturer.
What if the manufacturer no longer exist?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Shelly
