Safety data sheets for consumer products at a hospital, does anyone comply with this requirement
I work at a community hospital and I thought under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard if a consumer product like Windex or Lysol in the workplace you don't need an SDS for it. But our cleaning staff uses this quite a bit beyond normal consumer use, and I think we absolutely do need SDSs for all of them, and we have been operating for years assuming that consumer products were exempt.
We have over forty cleaning products in our housekeeping supply rooms without SDS documentation. I also noticed staff in the kitchen are diluting a degreaser and using it as a floor cleaner which changes the exposure profile.
We just got chemscape set up for our chemical inventory and I'm now expanding it to cover housekeeping and maintenance, chemscape has a blog post specifically about whether you need an SDS for consumer products like washer fluid in the workplace that literally describes our exact situation, but the scope of what I missed is frankly embarrassing and I need to fix this before our next Joint Commission survey.
Has anyone at a hospital or healthcare facility dealt with this consumer product SDS gap.
