Anyone else have or keep safety data sheets on their van? We decided to follow the OSHA procedures in case we ever have a visit and all I can say is were about to go through a lot of ink in the printer....
Two local guys got hit pretty hard recently. The one and two half guys company paid $3k, the ten truck company paid $16k. The owner of the ten truck company appealed and had to pay additional fines and court costs.The word Sodium Metasilicate written on the back of a Baconatir wrapper stuffed in the glovebox ain’t gonna cut it with OSHA
Are you able to keep a digital copy in Canada? I don't think we are able to yet in the States.Our regulations up here in Canada, you have to have it with in reach of the drivers door.
I didn't think we could use digital yet in the State's?All SDS in a binder until we went to tablets. Now all in a file on the tablet.
I’ve got a hard copy in the van, a hard copy in the office, and a copy on a memory stick.Are you able to keep a digital copy in Canada? I don't think we are able to yet in the States.
You're behind the curve. It's not MSDS any more. It's SDS.Butler is way ahead of the curve on MSDS.

I have stuff written on napkins that are scattered throughout my van
I had a mishap awhile back that had a commercial traffic officer crawling through my van and paperwork..Two local guys got hit pretty hard recently.

He let me off with a warning for not having it up to date. But made the comment that had I been an employee or had I sent an employee out without the proper docs he would have laid charges
If you carry chemicals in you’re work vehicle (be it a van, truck, car, or flipping scooter), it’s law that you must have SDS with you.Is sds required to have with with even when you don't have employees?
It will change from country and for you guys possibly within states.Is sds required to have with with even when you don't have employees?
pretty sure Wendy's sds aren't that accurate or up to dateThe word Sodium Metasilicate written on the back of a Baconatir wrapper stuffed in the glovebox ain’t gonna cut it with OSHA
Not by OSHA. They don't care about Owner/Operators. That should make you feel all warm and fuzzy.Is sds required to have with with even when you don't have employees?
I thought that was the case. Although, i like the idea of keeping sds on me in case of any serious accident such as fire. I wouldnt want to make the fire brigade job harder. Carrying naptha and oxidizer along diesel would be so much fun to put out...Not by OSHA. They don't care about Owner/Operators. That should make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
Things are different in Canada. Canucks can be fined for carrying an empty Baconater wrap.
There may be some highway transportation rules that apply if you carry anything your State deems hazardous in the quantity you carry. Most likely not an issue for you, but it might be good to look at the SDS for stuff you use, just to know what you're working with. If you don't carry anything horrible, having the SDS' on hand might shut down an over-officious jerk before he can waste too much of your time.
I tell them I have quarts and gallons.the fire brigade get quite excited when you tell them, theres 20litres of petrol, 20litres of hydrogen peroxide and 10 litres of solvents inside the van thats smoking...
