Hey all. Our company is going for 14001. We deal in steel, as they say. Do we need MSDS sheets on purchased steel (aluminum, galvanized, hot rolled and cold rolled).:bigwave:
Thanks in advance.

Re: MSDS sheets on steel. Need 'em ?

I keep MSDS sheets on the steel we receive. I have a question do you have a hard time getting Mill Certs from your steel suppliers?

No trouble at all getting material certs... but I have just looked on the manufacturer's website, and I don't see that they offer MSDS sheets at all. Should I be concerned ?

Yep you'd better be concerned, especially if you're required to make out Tier 2 reports

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) are required only when you handle or use hazardous chemicals. MSDS have more to do with health & safety than environment.

IMO, steel is not a hazardous chemical.

Other than threshold considerations, much the same for Tier II reporting.

And you have been practicing or managing EHS for how long in the USA?:confused:

If any item "has" a MSDS sheet and you handle it, you're required to have it on hand. The supplier is responsible to notify you of the end use of their item and if it's hazardous. Nice and Simple.
