Tier II MSDS Requirements
In Mid-2011, IEMA e-mailed Tier 2 facilities, requesting that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) be attached to current (2011) Tier 2 chemicals in Tier 2 Manager. Electronic MSDSs may be obtained from your chemical wholesaler or manufacturer. Tier 2 Manager will accept PDF files no larger than 5 MB. If there are multiple MSDSs for one chemical entry, and the MSDSs list the same physical hazards and health effects, attach the MSDS that represents the highest percentage of that chemical.
To attach an electronic MSDS: log into Tier 2 Manager, (sign in using your existing username and password), click on the blue Facility/Site Name, then on the "2011 Edit" Button to go to the Facility Home Page. Go to Step 2 on the Facility Home Page and click on a chemical's "Edit" Button. Attach the MSDS on the left side of the screen ("Upload MSDS" Button). To view a chemical's MSDS, click on the "View MSDS" Button. To replace a chemical's MSDS attachment, click on the "Remove" Button and upload a new MSDS. Once the MSDS has been attached, click on the blue "Save Changes" Button. You can go back to the Facility Home Page and attach more MSDSs, as needed.
If you have questions or need assistance attaching MSDSs, please contact Lori Canterbury or Carlita Crockett, Tier 2 Specialists, via e-mail at ema.tier2mgr@illinois.gov or telephone 217-558-0559.
