Does OSHA require MSDS sheets for coffee?
no, it's not a chemical. To expand on that, no, but not for that simple of a reason. Even if were used as a chemical (e.g. chemistry experiment), it is not a hazardous material, therefore, no MSDS would be required. MSDSs that represent non-hazardous chemicals are not covered by the HazCom Standard. Paragraph 29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(8) of the standard requires that "the employer shall maintain in the workplace copies of the required MSDSs for each hazardous chemical, and shall ensure that they are readily accessible during each work shift to employees when they are in their workarea(s)." OSHA does not require nor encourage employers to maintain MSDSs for non-hazardous chemicals. Consequently, an employer is free to discard MSDSs for non-hazardous chemicals.
