The short answer is no, but in at least one case a surveyor has said and MSDS is required for Wite Out®.

However, this is a misinterpretation on the part of the surveyor. Steve MacArthur explains how to clarify this citation and support your argument with OSHA standards.

Analyzing the Hospital Life Safety Survey

This book by former Joint Commission life safety surveyor Brad Keyes, CHSP, provides a practical, strategic approach to the life safety survey process. Keyes offers a room-by-room, floor-by-floor analysis of the life safety measures you need to have in place to avoid costly citations. He simplifies confusing Joint Commission standards and CMS requirements and reveals what you should be focusing on to pass your next life safety survey.
