A Document That Contains Information on the Potential Health Effects of

Exposure and How to Work Safely With a Specific Chemical Product.

It Contains Hazard Evaluations on the Use, Storage, Handling and Emergency

Procedures Related to The Product.

The MSDS Contains Much More Information Than Provided on the Label and

Is Prepared by the Supplier.

It Tells What the Hazards of the Product Are, How to Use the Product Safely,What to Expect If the Recommendations Are Not Followed, What to Do If

Accidents Occur, and How to Recognize Symptoms of Overexposure.

WHAT IS A MATERIAL DATA SAFETY SHEET:

BASICS OF THE MSDS


8/19

Every Material That Has a Possible Health Hazard, Whether Short Term Or

Long Term to Any Employee Must Have an Accompanying MSDS That Is

Specific to Each Individual Product or Material.

Both the Product Name and Supplier on the MSDS Must Match the Material in

Use.

WHY DO I NEED A MATERIAL DATA SAFETY SHEET:

BASICS OF THE MSDS


9/19

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Has Developed a New

Standard (Z400.1-1993) to Assist With the Format and Preparation of Material

Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

The Purpose of The Standard Is to Provide Information in a ConsistentManner and to Make It Easier to Find Information Regardless of the Supplier

of the MSDS.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Only Requires

the Elements Stated in 29CFR 1910.1200(g) But Supports the 16 SectionFormat Recommended by ANSI.

WHAT FORMAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE MSDS:

WHAT INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THE MSDS:

ELEMENTS OF THE MSDS


11/19

SECTIONS OF THE MSDS:


Section 1: Chemical Product and Company IdentificationLinks the chemical name on the label to the MSDS. The MSDS also liststhe name, address and the phone number of the company, manufactureror distributor who provides the chemical.

Section 2: Composition, Information or IngredientsIdentifies all the hazardous ingredients of the material. This section mayalso include Permissible Exposure Limits.

Section 3: Hazard IdentificationDiscusses the health effects one may encounter when exposed to the

material. Describes the appearance of the material, the potential healtheffects and symptoms associated with exposure, routes of entry, targetorgans that could be affected, and so on.

Section 4: First Aid MeasuresDescribes possible first aid procedures for each route of entry.


12/19



Section 5: Fire-Fighting MeasuresDescribes information on the fire and explosive properties of the material,extinguishing mediums, and general fire-fighting instructions.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Provides information on how to respond when a material spills, leaks or isreleased into the air. This information may include how to contain a spillor the types of equipment that may be needed for protection.

Section 7: Handling and StorageDiscusses information on handling and storage of the material. Topics

that could be described are: general warnings to prevent overexposure,handling procedures, and hygiene instructions to prevent exposure.

Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal ProtectionDiscusses engineering controls and personal protective equipment thatwould help reduce exposure to the material.


13/19



Section 9: Physical and Chemical PropertiesIncludes information about the physical and chemical properties. Suchas; appearance, odor, physical state, pH, vapor pressure, vapor density,boiling point, freezing/melting point, specific gravity and others.

Section 10: Stability and ReactivityRequires that potentially hazardous chemical reactions be identified. Itaddresses chemical stability, conditions to avoid, incompatibility withother materials, hazardous decomposition and hazardous polymerization.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

Discusses data used to determine the hazards that are given in Section3, "Hazard Identification."

Section 12: Ecological InformationProvides Information to help determine the environmental impact shouldthe material ever be released into the environment.


14/19



Section 13: Disposal ConsiderationsProvides important information that may be helpful in the proper disposalof the material. Can cover disposal, recycling and reclamation.

15/19

By Law, Employers Are Required to Make MSD Sheets Available to

Employees and Their Agents (Doctors, Lawyers Etc.).

MSD Sheets Are Required to Placed in a Location Within the Facility That Is

Convenient for Employees to Access.

While You May Not Arbitrarily Remove MSD Sheets From Viewing Binders,

You Can Request a Copy of Any MSDS You May Require.

Remember, MDS Sheets Are for Your Protection and Information. You AreEncouraged to Read and Understand the Safety Requirements of The

Chemicals Your Job Requires You to Work With.

WHERE CAN I FIND AN MSDS:

USING THE MSDS


16/19

Traditionally the Intended Readers of the MSDS Were Industrial Hygienists

and Safety Professionals. Now the Readership Also Includes Employers,

Workers, Supervisors, Nurses, Doctors, and Emergency Responders.

Its Getting Better, Now Days, To Ensure That MSDS Users Can Quickly Find

the Information That They Need, the Information Is Provided in an Easy-to-

read Format and Written in a Clear, Precise, Standardized and

Understandable Manner. If Yours Isnt, Try Getting an Updated MSDS.

There Are Some Sections That Are Harder to Understand Than Others. If YouDont Understand Something, Ask Your Supervisor. Also, You Can Always

Contact the Manufacturer for Clarification. Remember, If Youre Having

Trouble Understanding It, Others Probably Are To.

WHY IS MY MSDS HARD TO UNDERSTAND:

USING THE MSDS


17/19

Not Necessarily. A Lot of Health Hazard Information, for Example, Is Written in

General Terms.

Your Health and Safety Specialist, Occupational Health Nurse or Family Doctor

Should Be Able to Help You Find More Information If Needed.

The Supplier of the MSDS Can Also Be Consulted for Additional Information.

IS ALL THE INFORMATION I NEED ON THE MSDS:

USING THE MSDS


18/19

Always Be Familiar With the Hazards of a Product BEFOREYou Start Using It.

Use It To Determine Personal Protective Equipment Requirements.

You Should Look at a MSDS, Match the Name of the Chemical on YourContainer to the One on the MSDS, Know the Hazards, Understand Safe

Handling and Storage Instructions, As Well As Understand What to Do in an

Emergency.

WHEN WOULD I USE AN MSDS:

USING THE MSDS


19/19

MSD Sheets Look Different Because Only the Content of the MSDS Is

Specified by Law.

The Format Is Left up to the Supplier Who Writes the MSDS.

Some Suppliers Put More Details in Than What Is Required.

The Information for the Basic Categories in the MSDS As a Minimum, Must

Always Be in Accordance With the Requirements Outlined in

29CFR1910.1200. The Sixteen Section Format Recommended by ANSI Is The Typical Format

Used in the United States.
