Understanding MSDSs
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) provide pertinent information to employees about hazardous materials and chemicals in the workplace. MSDSs are important sources of chemical information in areas such as:
- Manufacturer information
- Chemical synonyms
- Physical and/or Chemical Health Hazards
- Spill Response
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The RTK Law requires that MSDSs be readily available in the work areas where potentially hazardous chemicals are used.
