MSDS

Q. How long do I need to keep a MSDS after we discontinue use of the product?

A. Employee exposure records, which include MSDS or an inventory of the MSDS that an employee may have been exposed to, must be kept for 30 years after an employee leaves the organization.

As this can lead to a very thick MSDS manual, dds recommends that MSDSs of discontinued products in the office be placed in a separate archive file.
