What is a Material Safety Data Sheet?
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) contains information regarding the proper procedures for handling, storing, and disposing of chemical substances.
- An MSDS accompanies all chemicals or kits that contain chemicals.
- If an MSDS does not accompany a chemical, many web sites and science
supply companies can supply one or they can be obtained from
www.msdsonline.com.
- Save all MSDSs and store in a designated file or binder using a system that is organized and easy to understand.
- Place the MSDS collection in a central, easily accessible location known to all workers and emergency personnel.
- Typically the information is listed in a standardized format (ANSI Z400.1-1998, Hazardous Industrial Chemicals-Material Safety Data Sheet-Preparation).
- Refer to Appendices I and J for additional information on the format and content of MSDSs (ANSI format).
