        Reply to:   RE>MSDS for radiological hazards?
Including radiological considerations in an MSDS makes sense from the liability
point of view.

 I have just received a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) from a vendor for a
 device containing tritium; this MSDS addresses the radiological hazards rather
 than chemical/physical hazards. It has been my understanding that OSHA
 specifically exempts radioactive materials from MSDS requirements. Can anyone
 confirm this and provide me with a reference citation for this exemption?
