What is an MSDS?
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a reference document that provides crucial safety data about a specific product. In addition to identifying all potentially hazardous ingredients, the MSDS provides cautions and warnings about the potential side effects of improper use and describes first-aid or emergency procedures.

In some cases, the MSDS gives guidelines for safe disposal and spill control for chemical substances. Operational guidelines for use of a specific chemical in your shop are provided by an instruction sheet, not an MSDS. If you have employees, you are required by law to keep an MSDS on file for every product you use in your operation and make it available to any employee. The “Hazard Communication” law (CFR 1910.1200) requires that employers provide their employees with certain information and training about the chemicals they are exposed to in the workplace, and the MSDS is an integral part of that

process. This law also contains other regulations to safeguard the health and well-being of your employees. It’s your obligation to learn about the requirements of this legislation. As more becomes known about the effects of different chemicals, it’s important to stay informed and take reasonable precautions to protect yourself and everyone who works with you from unnecessary hazards.
Material Safety Data Sheets are prepared in accordance with federally established standards for hazard communication. Although the technical language of an MSDS may be a little intimidating for the layperson, it’s an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with the information contained in these documents.You should be familiar with the safe handling, storage and disposal of any product you use. The MSDS is an excellent source for this information.
