Dear Customer:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard requires employers to inform their personnel of the hazards of chemicals used in the workplace.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are one means required by OSHA to provide the necessary information.
As part of Atlas Printing Ink Co. program to communicate health and safety information to our customers, we have enclosed our most current Material Safety Data Sheet. This MSDS meets the requirements of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). In addition, Section 13 of the enclosed MSDS provides supplier notification information required under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to Know act (EPCRA) of 1986 (40 CFR 372). This legislation (also referred to as SARA, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act) requires certain manufactures to report on annual emission of specified toxic chemicals and chemical categories.
We would like to remind you that OSHA regulations require information contained in this MSDS to be communicated and made accessible to your employees. We suggest you read the enclosed material and forward it to the appropriate personnel within your company. Any copies or other redistribution of the data sheet must include the EPCRA Section 313 supplier notification. In accordance with these regulations and Atlas Printing Ink Co.’s hazard communication program, we will continue to forward MSDSs to your attention for those products which you purchase and/or we have updated.
Additional copies of the enclosed MSDS and product specifications may be obtained by calling
(972) 243-2330. Should you have any questions related to the content of the data sheet or for additional compliance information please contact our Regulatory Group at (201) 933-4500.
