Material Safety Data Sheets
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document that contains information on the potential hazards
(health, fire, reactivity and environmental) and how to work safely with the chemical product. It is an
essential starting point for the development of a complete health and safety program. It also contains
information on the use, storage, handling and emergency procedures all related to the hazards of the
material. The MSDS contains much more information about the material than the label. MSDSs are
prepared by the supplier or manufacturer of the material. It is intended to tell 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, how to recognize symptoms of overexposure, and what to do if such
incidents occur.

Employer Responsibilities
Employers must ensure that the MSDS is readily accessible to employees for all
hazardous chemicals in their workplace. This may be done in many ways. For example,
employers may keep the MSDSs in a binder or on computers as long as the employees
have immediate access to the information without leaving their work area when needed
and a back-up is available for rapid access to the MSDS in the case of a power outage or
other emergency. Furthermore, employers may want to designate a person(s)
responsible for obtaining and maintaining the MSDSs. If the employer does not have an
MSDS, the employer or designated person(s) should contact the manufacturer to obtain
one.

When would I use an MSDS?

Always be familiar with the hazards of a product BEFORE you start using it. You should
look at a MSDS, match the name of the chemical on your container 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.

 Section 1: Identification
This section identifies the chemical on the MSDS as well as the recommended uses.
It also provides the essential contact information of the supplier. The required
information consists of:
• Product identifier used on the label and any other common names or synonyms
by which the substance is known.
• Name, address, phone number of the manufacturer, importer, or other
responsible party, and emergency phone number.
• Recommended use of the chemical (e.g., a brief description of what it
actually does, such as flame retardant) and any restrictions on use (including
recommendations given by the supplier).
