NYC CLC-NYCOSH
2015 SAFETY & HEALTH SERIES
A rose by any other name
Material Safety Data Sheets are now called Safety Data Sheets
Are they telling us all we need to know?
Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are supposed to provide workers with information on chemicals at the workplace. However, for years there have been numerous issues with SDSs:
Do they tell us enough?
Are they easy to understand?
Can the information be deciphered quickly enough?
Can they be trusted?
OSHA has made some small adjustments to them, and they will now be called "Safety Data Sheets." But how much will these changes help us? At this forum, we will discuss the issues concerning SDSs and talk about what we need to do to get the right information.
Panelists:
Steve Schrag, Hazmat Training Program Coordinator, SEIU
Monona Rossol, Author & Safety Officer for IATSE Local 829, United Scenic Artists and the NY Production Locals
Sponsored by the New York City Central Labor Council and the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSH).
