Hazard communication program references outdated SDS standard
High severity- Document evidence
- Section 4.2 of the uploaded policy references "MSDS sheets" and a 1994 revision date. Modern Hazard Communication language uses "Safety Data Sheets (SDS)" under the GHS-aligned format.
- Why it matters
- Inspectors and auditors look for current Hazard Communication language. Outdated terminology can signal that the program has not been refreshed in years and may trigger deeper review.
- Recommended fix
- Update Section 4.2 to use "Safety Data Sheet (SDS)" terminology and align format references to the current Hazard Communication Standard. Have a qualified safety professional confirm the final wording.
