The firefighter may obtain appropriate Safety Data Sheet information from

• A. Computer Aided Management of Emergency Operations.
• B. The National Response Center.
• C. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
• D. The employer of the facility.

Answer: (D)

Safety Data Sheets are provided and kept for the chemicals on site by the facility’s employer. When a firefighter needs detailed hazard information, PPE requirements, first aid measures, and spill procedures, the most reliable source is the employer who maintains the SDSs for their chemicals. The other options serve different roles: the National Response Center is for reporting incidents, OSHA is the regulatory body that requires SDS access but does not supply the specific on-site sheets, and CAMEO/related tools can help organize information but are not the primary source for a facility’s official SDS. So the best place to obtain appropriate SDS information is from the facility’s employer.
