Says an expert in business use of chemicals:  

"We do indeed use some really toxic stuff in the house & no MSDS unless you have at least 2 employees. 

You can kill yourself, but not an employee."  Nobody Knows-music

 

Some Ideas shared by a Pro in the Field:

If you have two employees, you have to post or have easy access to MSDS for all products the employees will use. This includes one or more maids who clean in your home - you must obtain MSDS for Clorox, Tide, Spray N Wash, silver polish, Windex, etc. If you use it yourself, then you are entitled to screw up and kill yourself, by accident, for not reading the label - but woe betide you if your employee mixed ammonia and Clorox and gets fatally ill and you did not OFFER MSDS for the products. Of course if you have them available and nobody reads them - hey that is their problem (unless you have 50 employees and then you are required to have a safety officer and give seminars to be sure they ARE educated).

Incidentally, you tell the companies that you have an employee and OSHA requires you to have an MSDS on hand and they MUST GIVE YOU ONE - BY LAW. If not, call OSHA and tell them who would not give you an MSDS. Now nothing says the MSDS has to be well written or even accurate, but they must have one and they must give it to YOU, if asked.

Once you have the MSDS, call the help phone number and tell them your dog drank the stuff, so what should you do, or your kid took a bath in it and is screaming. You can learn a LOT that way too. Not exactly ethical, but its one way to learn. By the way, you did not get this harebrained idea from ME. Unh unh - not me.
