    I get where you are coming from – but I feel we should. It is not just about what we are going to use – but also what we might be exposed to. I would want to refer to a SDS if there was a rupture or spill (and we have had a few of them when they have fallen over or dropped). While I agree with you in part – the bit for me is around the ability to understand the risk and be able to respond. If it is not on a register – would you go through the correct thought process for your rescue plans? The other reason I would is that if there is a fire (or other emergency) where the assets are exposed, you really want to be able to grab one register to hand to the Emergency Response team (ie: the Fire service) to show what they might be exposed to. Just my thoughts 🙂
