Why
do you need this program?
OSHA’s
Hazard Communication Standard, 1910.1200
requires that each employer must
provide their employees DOT
49 CFR 172.604
requires that each shipper of hazardous materials
must have a 24-hour emergency response phone number listed on their
shipping papers. Pro Compliance developed our MSDS-ER number to offer a low
cost, easy-to-use solution to both of these regulations. How
does it work? Due
to recent changes in the Hazard Communication Standard, off-site or electronic
MSDS files are now allowed. Pro Compliance has
developed a system where the employee can simply call a 1-800 number and
request any MSDS. The requested MSDS is then faxed to your
location, fulfilling all hazard communication requirements. Another
1-800 number can also be used to fulfill the DOT emergency response phone
number requirements. This
is not your typical fax-back type system; a live operator answers the
telephone and can fill an MSDS request or aid in the event of a DOT emergency.
