Facilities that store HAZMATs must do all of the following EXCEPT

Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), employers are mandated to ensure Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are readily accessible, hazardous chemical containers are properly labeled, and employees are trained and use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These measures are fundamental for worker safety. However, there is no general OSHA requirement for facilities to proactively notify the agency of the specific storage locations for all hazardous materials. Reporting to OSHA is typically triggered by specific events, such as a fatality or multiple hospitalizations, or for facilities with large quantities of highly hazardous chemicals covered by the Process Safety Management (PSM) standard, not for routine storage.

A: OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(8)) explicitly requires that SDSs be readily accessible to employees in their work areas.

C: OSHA requires containers of hazardous chemicals to be labeled, tagged, or marked with the product identifier and appropriate hazard warnings (29 CFR 1910.1200(f)).

D: OSHA's standard on Personal Protective Equipment (29 CFR 1910.132) mandates that employers provide and ensure the use of appropriate PPE for handling hazardous materials.
