29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(8):   The employer did not maintain in the workplace copies of the required safety data sheets for each hazardous chemical, and did not ensure that they were readily accessible during each work  shift to employees when they were in their work area(s):  1) On November 6, 2019, and at prior times, the employer did not maintain copies of required safety data sheets.  The employer's plan to maintain safety data sheets electronically was inadequate in that it required employees to perform an internet search, and hard copies of safety data sheets had not been maintained and updated to reflect current chemical inventory.  Employees work with hazardous chemicals such as brake cleaner that contains hexane, a flammable liquid.
