Oregon Esthetics Law Practice Exam

MSDS is approved by which agency but provided by which entity?

FDA, product distributor EPA, product distributor OSHA, supplier CDC, retailer

Correct Answer:

EPA, product distributor

Explanation:

Understanding hazard communication is key here. OSHA oversees the Hazard Communication Standard, which requires that information about a chemical’s hazards be available to workers. The MSDS (now called SDS) is produced by the chemical’s manufacturer or supplier and must be provided to downstream users, such as salons or distributors, so they can handle the chemical safely. The other agencies listed (FDA, EPA, CDC) don’t regulate or approve MSDS in this workplace context, and the supplier is the appropriate entity to furnish the SDS.
