Whom can you contact to obtain an SDS if you have not received one with a hazardous chemical?

The correct response is to contact the supplier to obtain a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for a hazardous chemical. Suppliers are legally obligated to provide SDSs along with the chemicals they distribute. The SDS contains critical information about the chemical, including its hazards, handling and storage requirements, first aid measures, and other safety information necessary for safe use.

If you have not received an SDS with a hazardous chemical, reaching out to the supplier is the most direct and effective approach, as they possess the most up-to-date and relevant information regarding the product. Understanding this chain of responsibility is fundamental in ensuring workplace safety and compliance with regulations regarding hazardous materials.

The other options, while they may offer valuable resources regarding hazardous materials in general, do not directly provide the specific SDS. For example, while the EPA and OSHA provide guidelines and regulations surrounding hazardous waste and chemicals, they do not supply SDSs themselves. Local government resources may also lack direct access to specific SDSs, making them less effective for this particular need.
