Trade Secrets and Safety Data Sheets questions for the CSP

Question 1

A chemical manufacturer shipped a hazardous solvent to a distributor last year and included the safety data sheet (SDS) with that initial shipment. Last month the manufacturer revised the SDS after it learned of significant new hazard information. The distributor has now placed a new order for the same solvent, and no one has asked for the updated SDS. What must the manufacturer do?

1. ASend nothing, because the distributor already received an SDS with its initial shipment
2. BProvide the revised SDS only if the distributor requests it
3. CHold the updated SDS until the distributor's next annual order, then include it
4. DProvide the revised SDS with this next shipment, because it is the first shipment after the SDS was updated

Question 2

A chemical manufacturer has been supplying a solvent to a distributor for two years. On May 1 the manufacturer revises the solvent's safety data sheet after learning of significant new hazard information. The distributor's orders ship on April 20, May 15, and June 10. The manufacturer has not been asked for a copy of the revised SDS. Under the manufacturer's duty to provide updated SDSs to distributors, with which shipment must the revised SDS first be provided?

1. AThe April 20 shipment, because the revision was already being prepared
2. BThe June 10 shipment, because the distributor must first have the chance to request the update
3. CThe May 15 shipment, because it is the first shipment after the SDS was updated
4. DNo particular shipment, because the revised SDS is only required if the distributor requests it

Question 3

A manufacturer sent a solvent to a customer in January, and the shipment came with the SDS. In March, the manufacturer learned of significant new hazard information and revised the SDS. In April, the same customer places a routine reorder for the same solvent. What must the manufacturer do for the April shipment?

1. AHold the revised SDS until the customer's next initial-type shipment of a different product
2. BProvide the revised SDS with the shipment or send it before or at the time of shipment, because it is the first shipment after the update
3. CSend the revised SDS only if the customer requests it in writing after the April delivery
4. DShip without an SDS, because the customer received one with the initial January shipment
