Material Safety Data Sheets
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), now often called a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), is a detailed document that provides important information about a chemical or hazardous material. It includes details about the substance’s properties, potential health and safety risks, safe handling and storage instructions, emergency measures, and first aid steps. The SDS helps workers and emergency responders understand how to work safely with the material, minimize risks, and respond effectively if accidents occur. It is a vital resource for ensuring safe management of chemicals in workplaces and community settings.
