Dear Sir:

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) requires employers be provided Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS's) for all hazardous substances used in their facility, and to make these MSDS's available to employees potentially exposed to these hazardous substances.

We, therefore, request a copy of the MSDS for your product listed as Stock Number __________. We did not receive an MSDS with the initial shipment of the Blitz Solvent 90 we received from you on October 1st. We also request any additional information, supplemental MSDS's, or any other relevant data that your company or supplier has concerning the safety and health aspects of this product.

Please consider this letter as a standing request to your company for any information concerning the safety and health aspects of using this product that may become known in the future.

The MSDS and any other relevant information should be sent to us within 20 days. Delays in receiving the MSDS information may prevent use of your product. Please send the requested information to Mr. Robert Smith, Safety and Health Manager, XYZ Company, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

Please be advised that if we do not receive the MSDS on the above chemical by (date), we may have to notify OSHA of our inability to obtain this information. It is our intent to comply with all provisions of the Hazard Communication Standard (1910.1200) and the MSDS's are integral to this effort.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your timely respose to this request. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Smith on (617) 223-9460.

Sincerely,

George Rogers, President
XYZ Company
