Once employees have no exposure to the chemical, there is no need to keep the SDS. However, if an employer is using SDSs to comply with 1910.1020, “Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records,” then they need to be kept at least thirty years, according to the exposure records requirements under 1910.1020(d)(1)(ii).
Be aware that employers are not required to keep SDSs as their exposure records, nor are they required to keep their chemical inventories. Employers ARE required to keep a record of what chemical was used, when it was used, and where in the facility it was used.
