Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Oklahoma State University
Your employer must have an SDS for every hazardous substance you use as part of your job.
If you request to see a copy of an SDS for a product you use, and your employer cannot provide it after one working day, you may refuse to use that product or work in an area where it is being used.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) Your Rights
If you request your own personal copy of an SDS, your employer has 15 days to provide it.
These SDSs must be available to you the entire time you are in the workplace.
