How often should an MSDS be updated?

An MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), now more commonly referred to as SDS (Safety Data Sheet), should be updated regularly or whenever there are changes in regulations. This is crucial because the purpose of these documents is to provide detailed information about handling, storage, and emergency measures related to hazardous substances. As new information about chemicals becomes available or as regulations evolve, the contents of the SDS need to be revised to ensure that users have the most current and relevant information for maintaining safety in the workplace. This ongoing update process helps to protect employees and ensure compliance with safety regulations, ultimately promoting a safer working environment.
