Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Regulations

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) regulations require companies to provide detailed information about hazardous chemicals they use or sell. An SDS informs workers and emergency responders about a chemical's properties, hazards, safe handling, storage, and emergency measures. These regulations ensure that anyone working with chemicals understands the risks and knows how to protect themselves and others. SDSs are standardized documents, often formatted in specific sections for easy reference, and are mandated by safety laws such as OSHA in the U.S. or REACH in Europe, promoting safe workplace practices and environmental protection.
