Re[2]: MSDS for radiological ha

[michael_coogen@ccgw1.hq.dla.mil]

     I can't give you the reference, but I know that OSHA does not require 
     MSDS for items or devices containing radioactive mateiral.  The only 
     MSDS, if you want to call it that, are usually accompanied with 
     radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine studies.  This could be 
     the begining of something and might catch on...mike coogen sends

        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?
