Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Right to Know Information
It is required that information regarding employees "Right to Know" about chemicals in the workplace be posted on the rig in the change house or the doghouse. Different states may have different requirements regarding the proper postings, so review laws closely if the rig has moved across state lines.
Emergency Numbers
Numbers of chemical response information services should be posted along with other emergency numbers. When calling these information services, you should have all the information provided on the original packaging so the service can find and communicate the necessary information to emergency response personnel.
Requests
SDS should be attached to all new chemicals shipped to the rig. Always request current SDS information when ordering or reordering chemicals. Chemical suppliers have an obligation to provide current information with any chemicals they offer for sale or transport. Revisit SDS requests every week until the proper documentation has been provided. Prior to new mud companies coming on the rig, they should provide complete SDS information for all chemicals they intend to use on your rig.
