Regulatory Compliance:OSHA regulations mandate that Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must be accessible for all hazardous chemicals used in the workplace. This requirement applies to all materials, including those used by contractors.

Employee Safety:Ensuring SDS are available for all chemicals used on-site is crucial for maintaining a safe working environment. Employees must be aware of potential hazards and how to handle chemicals safely.

Risk Management:Continuing operations without the necessary SDS poses a risk to employee safety and exposes the company to regulatory penalties.

Corrective Action:Discontinuing work with the janitorial services firm until the SDS are provided is a proactive measure to mitigate this risk.

Contractual Obligation:The janitorial service is in breach of the safety requirements agreed upon. Immediate cessation of their services until compliance is achieved is necessary.

References:OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and industry best practices for contractor management support this approach.
