[Histonet] MSDS binders

[Shirley A. Powell]

Our Fire Marshalls even require we have a big red sign pointing to where the hard copies are located.  They don't need to hunt for it in case of an event.

There must be some way for the Fire Department to be able to access MSDS. As Victor rightly points out, if your computer system is down, that option no longer exists. It is not only prudent, it is mandatory for the Fire Service to be able to look up any chemical within your facility.

If you cannot satisfy your local fire daprtment, they will close you down quicker than CAP or CLIA ever could.

  In practicality you would turn to your online version first. What happens if the computer system/network is down. Seems like it would be prudent to have a hard copy available.
