| MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS) What are MSDS Sheets? A Material Safety Data Sheet, often referred to by its acronym MSDS, is a detailed informational document prepared by the manufacturer or importer of a hazardous chemical which describes the physical and chemical properties of the product. We provide these because information included in a Material Safety Data Sheet aids in the selection of safe products, helps employers and employees understand the potential health and physical hazards of a chemical and describes how to respond effectively to exposure situations. It should be noted that the health and safety guidance in the Material Safety Data Sheet often addresses the worst case situation which would be more relevant to a major industrial accident or tank car spill than to a laboratory. The Material Data Safety Sheet is not always helpful in selecting appropriate safeguards in the laboratory. If you have questions about handling or protecting yourself from a particular chemical contact the Occupational Health and Safety Section or your supervisor. Select the product below to download that Safety Data Sheet as a PDF file. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these files. |
