We had over 2,000 chemicals in out lab, some requirement came down that we had to inventory them. That took a few days for no purpose. Our boss' boss wanted us to memorize the MSD for all of them. He was a dope. Then he wanted us to get rid of nearly all of them. He was really a dope.
It often costs more to dispose of a chemical than to buy it in the first place.
Then we had to put expiration dates on chemicals, which makes sense for a few items. We had an expiration date on sand that we used for chromatography, sand.
When some expired, I changed the date on year. But I digress.
How do you think smaller companies will really respond to this OSHA edict?
