Safety data sheet
Also known as SDS, material safety data sheet, MSDS.
A standardized document describing a chemical product’s hazards, composition, controls, handling, storage, and emergency information.
Safety notes
- Keep the current SDS readily accessible, confirm the exact product, brief exposed workers, and use its information within the production’s hazard assessment rather than as a substitute for one.
- Applicable law, permits, collective agreements, venue rules, and qualified-person decisions take precedence.
In practice
Keep the current SDS readily accessible, confirm the exact product, brief exposed workers, and use its information within the production’s hazard assessment rather than as a substitute for one.
