ABSTRACT

The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of a chemical provides the necessary and pertinent information for its safe handling. Federal regulations mandate that an MSDS for each chemical used in a workplace be available and accessible to workers. An MSDS produced by the manufacturer or the vendor is usually shipped with a chemical. In general, MSDSs can be found at manufacturers’ websites. If an MSDS for a particular chemical is not already available, individuals or companies using the chemical should contact the supplier.
