There must be some way for the Fire Department to be able to access MSDS. As Victor rightly points out, if your computer system is down, that option no longer exists. It is not only prudent, it is mandatory for the Fire Service to be able to look up any chemical within your facility.
If you cannot satisfy your local fire daprtment, they will close you down quicker than CAP or CLIA ever could.
