The professionals for authoring, translating, and outsourcing your Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
About Us
With an online presence established in 1998, MSDSWriter began as a small shop
dedicated to authoring of Material Safety Data Sheets. Initially attracting mostly
鈥渕om and pop鈥? type clients, MSDSWriter quickly emerged as one of only a handful of
companies present on the Internet focused on delivering hazard communication solutions.
Our Clients
Our clients hail from broad sectors of manufacturing worldwide, including construction,
mining, boutique chemical, and cosmetic firms.
Our Capacity
Our capacity has grown along with our client base. At the heart of MSDSWriter is a
team of project managers and contractors focused on delivering quality work while
keeping operating costs as low as possible.
Our Approach
The secret to our success has been timely customer correspondence and a
鈥渘o-frills鈥? approach to our work. Our clients only pay for what they need: our
expertise and commitment to quality work. We focus on producing work that
is simply compliant and backed by years of focus on the MSDS and the world
of Hazard Communication.
Our Services
MSDS Authoring Related Services: Our most popular services include authoring
or converting MSDSs to comply with national and international standards. We research
and update MSDSs to keep clients current, and we even standardize the formats
and language of their current and new MSDSs to meet both their internal needs and
government regulations. We also regularly assist clients with translating MSDSs into
almost any language.
MSDS Outsourcing: Clients with established compliance departments or safety
managers choose MSDSWriter to outsource their existing MSDS operation. Companies
currently using some combination of MSDS software and databasing products place
MSDSWriter in charge of operating with those products so that the companies can
devote their attention to other priorities.
MSDS Related Labeling and Lab Analysis: MSDSWriter generates compliant
container labeling for products. MSDSWriter can have product samples analyzed to
determine physical property characteristics. These include pH, flash point, boiling
point and density.
General Hazard Communication and Waste Management Consulting:
MSDSWriter鈥檚 expertise is firmly rooted in hazard communication and waste
management consulting in general, so we are able to deliver projects that extend
beyond just the MSDS. Our senior project manager, Atanu Das, has been an integral
leader in construction management compliance. As an Environmental, Health and
Safety (EHS) manager with a major pharmaceutical firm, his background includes
experience with the following:
鈥? Hazardous and Construction Waste Management: Identification and proper disposal
of asbestos containing building material, PCB-containing light ballasts, and lead paint.
鈥? LEED Construction Waste Management Consulting: Construction waste landfill
diversion, resource reuse, and recycled content applications.

What Is An MSDS?
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is used by chemical manufacturers and
importers to convey both the physical hazards (pH, flashpoint, flammability, etc.)
and the health hazards (carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, etc.) of their chemicals to
the end user.
MSDSs are a critical component of the United States Occupational Safety
and Health Administration鈥檚 (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard
29Cfr1910.1200(g). This standard mandates that workers have a right to know
what hazards are associated with the chemicals they use in the workplace. Both
manufacturers of chemicals and employers with chemicals in their workplace,
must be in compliance with this regulation as it is the most often cited violation
by OSHA, with fines of more than $70,000 per violation per instance.
About MSDS Compliance
The need to communicate hazards of chemicals to users is of the utmost
importance. The widespread use of chemicals, the development of new chemicals,
and the need to re-evaluate the hazards of pre-existing chemicals contribute
to the importance of MSDS Compliance. In the United States, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has created the Hazard Communication
Standard (HCS) to mandate the use of a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
and provide information to people who use, handle or store hazardous industrial
chemicals.
The OSHA MSDS format requires eight categories to be on every MSDS. ANSI
standards prescribe 16 sections of an MSDS. We are compliant with these
requirements.
Please see our web site for a complete listing of this information.
What the MSDS conveys
鈥? material鈥檚 identity
鈥? manufacturer information
鈥? hazard identity
鈥? emergency information
鈥? instructions for hazardous situations
鈥? hazard prevention

Value-priced, quality service is the hallmark of MSDSWriter. We are proud to offer
MSDS services 鈥渦nder one roof鈥? to save you the hassle of looking everywhere
for what you need when you need it. We make every effort to meet your specific
compliance needs.
