For the manufacturers included here: https://hazard.com/msds/man/man.html

Identify which manufacturers may be focused specifically on manufacturing products for occupational/industrial use (vs. products intended for consumer use...e.g. if we have a product 'floor cleaner' it can be the floor cleaner intended for individuals to use in their home, or a floor cleaner intended for use in office building hallways, which we would consider an 'occupational/industrial' floor cleaner.

Information can be stored in a spreadsheet on the L drive (link to the folder in comments so we know where to find it!)

For some manufacturers it may not be clear if their products are intended for consumer or industrial use, and for some it may be their products have both uses. We are not too concerned with getting every single one of these right/complete. When in doubt just skip it. We will consider this a success if we get a list of some subset of manufacturers on this list which we know mainly manufacture industrial products.

information can be found either on the manufacturer's web page or just on google. e.g., if you google the New Pig Corporation, https://www.google.com/search?q=new%20pig%20corporation&cad=h Right in the summary in the google results it states "Shop at newpig.com. The World's Best Stuff for Leaks, Drips and Spills. Specializing in workplace safety and spill containment products" So this would be considered an occupational/industrial product focused manufacturer.
