                                                   CHAPTER 4
                                             HAZARD COMMUNICATIONS

               4-1. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS.

                   a. The contractual acquisition of a MSDS is accomplished through the use
               of Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.223-3. This requirement applies
               to materials with national stock numbers (NSNS) and locally purchased items.
               NSDSs for NSN Items can be extracted from the Hazardous Materials Information
               System (HMIS) (see AR 700-141). As noted in Appendix C, the solvent
               composition and pigment composition may vary in each product although all
               conform to the same specification. A MSDS Is appropriate only for a single
               shipment or batch of material. Becauseof the variations allowed, the MSDS
               must be reviewed for each shipment procured on a single purchase order.

                   b. The MSDS is a requirement of 29 CFR 1910.1200 and Is to be filed In a
               location readily accessible to workers exposed to the hazardous substance.
               The MSDS ma-, be used as a training aid for discussion during safety meetings
               and training of new workers which is also required by 29 CFR 1910.1200. It
               should assist management by directing attention to the need for specific
               control engineering, work practices, and protective measures to ensure safe
               handling and use of the material. It will aid the safety and health staff
               plan a safe and healthful work environment and suggest appropriate emergency
               procedures and sources of help in the event of harmful exposure of workers.
               An alternate source of information is AR 700-141.
