Where can you find the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) when stationed ashore?

The Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which provide important information about the properties and hazards of substances used in maintenance and operations, are generally located outside of maintenance control. This placement ensures that personnel involved in maintenance can easily access essential safety information about materials they may handle or work with, facilitating safe practices and compliance with regulations.

Having the MSDS outside of maintenance control serves a practical purpose—it ensures that anyone who may need to reference these documents during their work is able to do so quickly and efficiently. This is especially important in an environment where time and safety are critical, as it allows for immediate access to safety protocols, handling procedures, and emergency measures related to hazardous materials.

The other locations mentioned would not typically provide the same level of access or relevance to the immediate needs of personnel working with hazardous materials, which is why they are not the appropriate choices for MSDS accessibility.
