D
Explanation
An SDS, or Safety Data Sheet, is a document used to list the hazards of a product and provides valuable guidance and instruction on how to work safely with a substance. The document relies on core standards from an international agreement on content and presentation. Technician A is incorrect because an SDS is a legally authorized document and cannot be modified to remove non-relevant content, as this would disrupt the consistency and integrity of the information. Technician B is incorrect as well, according to OSHA rules, SDS should be kept for chemicals that are still at the facility but they don't require being kept 30 years after the product left the facility. Therefore, neither Technician A nor Technician B is accurate.
