In this situation, employees can immediately obtain the required information in an emergency. 6.3.3 Safety data sheets may be kept in any form, including operating procedures, and may be designed to cover groups of hazardous chemicals in a work area where it may be more appropriate to address the hazards of a process rather than individual hazardous chemicals. However, in all cases the required information will be provided for each hazardous chemical, and will be readily accessible during each work shift to employees when they are in their work area(s). 6.3.4 Safety data sheets will also be made readily available, upon request, to designated representatives, and to the Chief, in accordance with the requirements of California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 3204(e). NIOSH and the employee's physician will also be given access to safety data sheets in the same manner. 3 Questions? Call EEAP 1 -800-734-3574 E & A ,kE,.FE,.o 11.
