Why SDS Is Mandatory in Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone is actively engaged in strengthening its chemical and waste management framework, supported by international bodies like UNEP, to meet its obligations under the Basel, Rotterdam, and Stockholm Conventions. While the full, mandatory implementation of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) across all sectors is an ongoing process, the requirement for providing comprehensive chemical safety information is mandated by key national institutions:
Environmental Protection: The Environment Protection Agency (EPA), under the Environment Protection Agency Act, 2022, strictly regulates the importation and use of "chemicals, toxic and hazardous substances." An SDS is essential documentation for obtaining the necessary environmental and import permits.
Workplace Safety: The Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Creation (MLIREC)'s Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) requires employers to provide workers with information and training on the hazards of materials used, making the SDS a critical OSH tool.
Standards & Quality: The Sierra Leone Standards Bureau (SLSB) plays a role in assuring the safety and quality of imported and locally manufactured products, requiring adherence to national and international standards.
A compliant SDS for Sierra Leone must be:
Format: Prepared in the internationally recognized 16-section GHS format as best practice, anticipating national GHS adoption.
Language Specific: Written in English (the official language for business and technical communication).
Legally Supported: The SDS and associated labels must align with the general duties under the EPA Act 2022 and relevant OSH mandates.
Zoesoe Exports ensures your documentation meets these national mandates and international best practices for chemical management.
