employees work if:
– Your employees may be exposed to hazardous chemicals
used by another employer;
OR
– Another employer's employees may be exposed to
hazardous chemicals you or your employees use.
Examples include employees of construction companies,
cleaning services, or maintenance contractors visiting or
working on-site.

Program, the methods you will use to share the following
hazard information with other employers when their employees
share a workplace with you and are potentially exposed to
chemicals you produce, use, or store:

relevant material safety data sheets (MSDSs), or provide
access to the MSDSs in a specified location.

the program meets the requirements of this rule.
