t’s most likely you keep a
master file of material safety
data sheets (MSDS) for all
hazardous materials (HAZ-
MAT) in your shop. But have
you ever considered creating
separate files of MSDS for the
contents of your flammable
storage cabinets?
Each cabinet is packed
with paint, lubricant, oil,
engine primer, sealing com-
pound, spray adhesive and
other flammables and HAZ-
MAT. By creating a file of
MSDS for each cabinet—and
storing that file with the cabi-
net—you’ll save precious
time finding the sheets you
need. Just keep the MSDS in
a three-ring binder with clear-
plastic document protectors to
shield the paper. Stow the
binder on top of the cabinet
where it’s handy.
Update the binder
whenever you add or
delete items from
the cabinet.
y’know what would
be great? a list of
all the hazardous
materials in each
cabinet.
I’ve got
it.
it’s the
binder of
msds on
top of the
cabinet!
