The SDS is something the supplier must give to you under CLP. What you need to do is to extract the relevant information from the SDS and along with any other relevant information use this as the basis for identifying the hazard posed by these substances in your workplace. You can then carry out a risk assessment as required under COSHH and decide on the best controls to manage that risk. Just because a product can be bought over the counter does not mean that it is “safe” to use. For example the gloop used to clean drains especially bath room type drains contains concentrated sulphuric acid.  We keep saying this but the risk assessment should refer to a process or procedure not the substances.  So for general cleaning you could probably get away with one risk assessment for cover the substances and how they are being used.

Article 31 of REACH information in the supply chain actually permits a supplier not to provide a Safety Data Sheet so long as there is sufficient information attached in the form of product labelling.

Typically they will have generated an SDS in consequence of conducting the classification but will normally hold these back from the consumer market e.g. Washing up liquid - no SDS at the supermarket but when you look at the commercial/industrial application of the same material the web site will have an SDS.

If you want to control the cleaner you could either specify a lsit of products permitted at site or order materials on their behalf

Rather than concentrate on the safety data sheet I would be more concerned about ensuring proper use. Consider the case where a company was prosecuted for a fatality, due to a worker who, assigned to clean a changing room in the plant, allowed two cleaning products to become mixed and gassed himself with the resulting chlorine.

In fact, if the products are purchased retail you will probably get more information about the constituents from the information on the package as, with minor exceptions, this will list all the constituents, not merely those with hazard statements as is the case with safety data sheets.

So training in correct use and what not to do with the cleaning chemicals is, for me, the way forward.
