2. Material Safety Data Sheets are readily available at all times for each hazardous substance used at work.

3. Employers with 10 or more employees on site must communicate emergency action plans in writing to employees.

4. A list of hazardous substances used at the worksite is maintained and readily available in the workplace.

5. Each container of a hazardous substance (e.g., vats, bottles, storage tanks) is labeled with product identity and a hazard warning communicating specific health hazards and physical hazards).
