Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to develop SDS sheets in which language?

Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to develop Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in English because it is the primary language used for regulatory compliance in the United States and many other regions. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that SDS must be provided in a language that is understood by the workers who might be exposed to chemical hazards. Since English is the predominant language for such regulations, particularly in the U.S., it is essential for ensuring that the information contained within the SDS is accessible and understandable to employees who handle these chemicals. Proper communication of safety information is crucial for ensuring a safe working environment and compliance with health and safety regulations. While other languages may also be provided to accommodate non-English speaking workers, the foundational requirement is to provide the SDS in English.
