About this file
This file is an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard reference document outlining the uniform format requirements for Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) effective June 1, 2015. The document specifies 16 mandatory sections that chemical manufacturers, distributors, and importers must include when communicating hazards of chemical products. Section 1 requires product identification and contact information; Section 2 addresses hazard identification and label elements; Section 3 details chemical composition and ingredients; Section 4 covers first-aid measures; Section 5 specifies fire-fighting measures; Section 6 outlines accidental release procedures; Section 7 addresses handling and storage precautions; Section 8 identifies exposure controls and personal protective equipment requirements; and Section 9 documents physical and chemical properties. Sections 10 through 16 address stability and reactivity, toxicological information, ecological information, disposal considerations, transport information, regulatory information, and preparation dates, respectively.
OSHA will not enforce Sections 12 through 15 as these areas fall under the jurisdiction of other federal agencies. The document serves as a reference standard for ensuring consistent SDS formatting across the chemical industry and provides detailed information to protect workers and users from chemical hazards. This attachment appears in the context of the City of Tampa's procurement for a portable water dispensing trailer, likely included to ensure compliance with safety standards regarding any chemical handling, treatment, or storage related to water dispensing operations and equipment specifications.

ATTACHMENT A
Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Safety Data Sheets
The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires chemical manufacturers, distributors, or importers to provide Safety Data Sh eets
(SDSs) (formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets or MSDSs) to communicate the hazards of hazardous chemical products. As of
June 1, 2015, the HCS will require new SDSs to be in a uniform format, and include the section numbers, the headings, and associated information under the headings below:
Section 1, Identification: Includes product identifier; manufacturer or distributor name, address, phone number; emergency phone number; recommended use; restrictions on use.
Section 2, Hazard(s) identification: Includes all hazards regarding the chemical; required label elements.
Section 3, Composition/information on ingredients: Includes information on chemical ingredients; trade secret claims.
Section 4, First-aid measures: Includes important symptoms/effects, acute, delayed; required treatment.
Section 5, Fire-fighting measures: Lists suitable extinguishing techniques, equipment; chemical hazards from fire.
Section 6, Accidental release measures: Lists emergency procedures; protective equipment; proper methods of containment and cleanup.
Section 7, Handling, and storage: Lists precautions for safe handling and storage, including incompatibilities.
Section 8, Exposure controls/personal protection: Lists OSHA’s Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs); ACGIH Threshold Limit Values
(TLVs); and any other exposure limit used or recommended by the chemical manufacturer, importer, or employer preparing the SDS where available as well as appropriate engineering controls; personal protective equipment (PPE).
Section 9, Physical and chemical properties: Lists the chemical's characteristics.
Section 10, Stability, and reactivity: Lists chemical stability and possibility of hazardous reactions.
Section 11, Toxicological information: Includes routes of exposure; related symptoms, acute and chronic effects; numerical measures of toxicity.
Section 12, Ecological information*: Ecotoxicity (aquatic and terrestrial, where available); Persistence and degradability;
Bioaccumulative potential; Mobility in soil; other adverse effects (such as hazardous to the ozone layer).
Section 13, Disposal considerations*: Description of waste residues and information on their safe handling and methods of disposal, including the disposal of any contaminated packaging.
Section 14, Transport information*: UN number and shipping name; Transport hazard class(es); Packing group, if applicable;
Environmental hazards (e.g., Marine pollutant (Yes/No)); Transport in bulk (according to Annex II of MARPOL 73/78 and the IBC Code);
Other Special precautions which a user needs to be aware of, or needs to comply with, in connection with transport or conveyance either within or outside their premises.
Section 15, Regulatory information*: Safety, health, and environmental regulations specific for the product(s) in question.
Section 16, Other information: Includes the date of preparation or last revision.
*Note: Since other Agencies regulate this information, OSHA will not be enforcing Sections 12 through 15(29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(2)).
