6. A chemical inventory list should be
maintained on the premises at all times. When new chemicals are
obtained the chemical name should be entered into the chemical

chemical is no longer in use at the location, it's chemical name
should be removed from the chemical inventory list.

chemical inventory list, a MSDS data sheet should be maintained on
the premises and available for all employees to review. The contents

new chemicals are obtained the MSDS should be placed in the MSDS
book. The book should be updated monthly and should reflect those
chemicals that are located on the premises. When a particular
chemical is no longer in use at the location the MSDS data sheet
should be removed from the MSDS book.

specific chemical hazaard training.
