Anyone know of a somewhat up-to-date online source of MSDS's? I'm looking for absolutely nothing older than 5 years. My normal contact for updates is not working out so well lately. Ahh some days I hate this job.. |

I've always used a subscription service called 3E at (800) 451-8346. It's been a few years and I don't recall the cost but I see they are still around at: http://www.3ecompany.com/ |

Which manufacturer - what product? EVERY manufacturer that I have to deal with has their MSDS's posted or available through an email or telephone request. |

I was hoping for a free online source with somewhat current dates. Oh well, I'll just start through the list tomorrow and contact specific manufacturers. Thanks for the tips. |

I would call each manufacturer and have them fax you the current MSDS. This way, you get the latest one, which can be important. Always worked for me. |

Or have them send it to you as a .pdf. When I did the last two power plants I maintained a notebook of all the original copies and then an electronic file as well. I kept a database of all the MSDS contacts and once a year an e-mail went to all of them asking for any updated information. I used to also do something for my crews called "MSDS - Material Safety Data Simplified" where I prepared a laminated index size card that summed it all up. They could care less about most the technical garbage, they wanted to know IF it was a danger, if so . . what kind of danger and what to do about it. |
