I remember we had a long conversation some years ago about legacy chemicals,so hopefully there are still people on this forum who can give me some guidance on the following questions.
1. Can OSHA cite an employer who has old MSDSs in their hazcom or lab standard files for workers reference?
2. And can they cite if the old MSDSs are for legacy products if the manufacturer no longer makes the product or is out of business?
3. What are the legal issues associated with using products in the workplace for which the manufacturer no longer claims liability?
I'm desperate for some kind of legal or OSHA guidance on this for some theater shops where we have workers.
