Multi-employer worksites
['Hazard Communication', 'Contingent Workforce']

- The employer bringing a hazardous chemical onto a multi-employer worksite must inform the other employers of the presence of the hazardous chemical.
- A label or SDS does not need to be created for a non-RCRA waste product.
The employer bringing a hazardous chemical onto a multi-employer worksite must inform the other employers of the presence of the hazardous chemical and the availability of the safety data sheet (SDS). If an intermediary employer, such as a general contractor, holds and provides access to the SDSs, the intermediate employer is responsible for ensuring the availability of the SDS(s).
If SDSs are not available because a subcontractor or immediate employer failed to make them readily accessible, that employer will be cited.
