The regulations concerning Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) in India are primarily governed by the Occupational Safety, Health, and Working Conditions Code (OSH Code) and related rules. Here are some key regulations and guidelines related to MSDS in India:

Regulations for MSDS in India

MSDS - Entity 1: Transforming Greenhouse Gases to Energy and Valuable Materials

Legal Framework:

1. Occupational Safety, Health, and Working Conditions Code (OSH Code):

The OSH Code specifies provisions related to the safety and health of workers in various industries.
It mandates the provision of MSDS for hazardous chemicals used in workplaces to ensure worker safety.

2. Chemical Safety Rules

The Chemical Safety Rules, under the Environment (Protection) Act, set out regulations for the safe handling, use, storage, and transportation of hazardous chemicals.
These rules require the preparation and availability of MSDS for hazardous chemicals.

3. Manufacture, Storage, and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules:

These rules provide guidelines for the safe manufacture, storage, handling, and import of hazardous chemicals.
They mandate the preparation and dissemination of MSDS for hazardous chemicals.

Key Requirements for MSDS in India

1. Content Requirements

The MSDS in India typically includes information on chemical identification, hazards, composition, first aid measures, handling and storage instructions, exposure controls, and emergency procedures

2. Language and Accessibility

MSDSs must be provided in a language understood by workers and be easily accessible in the workplace.

3. Training and Awareness

Employers are responsible for ensuring that workers are trained on the hazards of chemicals, including the information provided in MSDS.

4. Updates and Compliance

MSDSs need to be reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect changes in chemical composition or safety information.

5. Export Requirements

Specific regulations may apply to the export of chemicals, including the provision of MSDS to ensure compliance with international standards.
