Confused about MSDS, cradle to grave policies, and what on Earth the inspectors and even your own bosses are expecting? Well, you are not alone, and coming from an industry where we had to deal with all this even though we only barely class one material.
] Indeed, suffice it to say, I know what a challenge it can be to comply not knowing which sections or agency or at which level has the paperwork you are suppose to file, turn in, or what to do with it.
Well, there is a very good book which I'd always kept in my desk to look up such information.
