Safety Data Sheets

October 2019 Vitamin Consultancy Newsletter

 Informed Consent Podcast

I presented a paper on Informed Consent to the Libertarian Scholars Conference held at Kings College in Manhattan last weekend.  Sharry Edwards, MEd. interviewed me on the presentation for her podcast, so here is the hour-long discussion of the paper, your right of Informed Consent and the powerful forces that want to abrogate your Right.

SAFETY DATA SHEETS
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


29 CFR § 1910.1200 - Hazard Communication is the Federal version of California's Proposition 65.  Learn more about that here:  www.ProfessionalSafetyDossier.com 
"The purpose of this section is to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are classified, and that information concerning the classified hazards is transmitted to employers and employees. The requirements of this section are intended to be consistent with the provisions of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), Revision 3. The transmittal of information is to be accomplished by means of comprehensive hazard communication programs, which are to include container labeling and other forms of warning, safety data sheets and employee training."

If you or your contract manufacturer import any chemicals (which includes natural sourced ingredients) you must be able to product an SDS for each during any FDA inspection.
Dr. Bob Goodman and I are available to consult with your Company regarding its SDS needs.

Just send me an email with SDS in the subject line:  ralph.fucetola@usa.net
