Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS), previously called a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), is a document that provides information on the properties of hazardous chemicals and how they affect health and safety in the workplace. For example an SDS includes information on:
-
the identity of the chemical,
-
health and physicochemical hazards,
-
safe handling and storage procedures,
-
emergency procedures, and
-
disposal considerations.
The SDS should always be referred to when assessing risks in the workplace.
