Answer 1

MSDSs are documents, normally many pages long, that travel with or ahead of hazardous chemical shipments, warning users of the specific dangers of such products and guidance on their safe handling, storage and disposal. Evaluating chemical hazards and producing MSDSs and labels for downstream users are two of the key responsibilities chemical manufacturers and distributors have under the HCS.

Maintaining an MSDS for every hazardous chemical and making them available to employees as part of the HCS’s Right-to-Know provisions, which says employees have the right to know about the chemicals to which they are exposed is one of five key responsibilities employers have under the HCS.

*Section 1, Identification includes product identifier; manufacturer or distributor name, address, phone number; emergency phone number; recommended use; restrictions on use.

*Section 2, Hazard(s) identification includes all hazards regarding the chemical; required label elements.

*Section 3, Composition/information on ingredients includes information on chemical ingredients; trade secret claims.

*Section 4, First-aid measures include important symptoms/ effects, acute, delayed; required treatment.

*Section 5, Fire-fighting measures lists suitable extinguishing techniques, equipment; chemical hazards from fire.

*Section 6, Accidental release measures lists emergency procedures; protective equipment; proper methods of containment and cleanup.

*Section 7, Handling and storage lists precautions for safe handling and storage, including incompatibilities.

*Section 8, Exposure controls/personal protection lists OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs); Threshold Limit Values (TLVs); appropriate engineering controls; personal protective equipment (PPE).

*Section 9, Physical and chemical properties list the chemical's characteristics.

*Section 10, Stability and reactivity lists chemical stability and the possibility of hazardous reactions.

*Section 11, Toxicological information includes routes of exposure; related symptoms, acute and chronic effects; numerical measures of toxicity.

*Section 12, Ecological information on the ecotoxicity of the chemical product, analysis of its components, biodegradability in different environments, etc.

*Section 13, Disposal considerations: this section often contains references to local legal requirements regarding the disposal of hazardous chemical products

*Section 14, Transport information: shipping name, hazard class, UN number, package group

*Section 15, Regulatory information: classification of the substance according to TSCA, SARA, CERCLA,..., S- and R-Phrases

*Section 16, Other Information: this section often presents a list of abbreviations used in the MSDS, references to EU Directives en European or international (ISO) standards, version management of the MSDS, a disclaimer

*Section 16, Other information, includes the date of preparation or last revision.

The information contained in the SDS is largely the same as the MSDS, except now the SDSs are required to be presented in a consistent user-friendly, 16-section format. This brief provides guidance to help workers who handle hazardous chemicals to become familiar with the format and understand the contents of the SDSs.

The SDS includes information such as the properties of each chemical; the physical, health, and environmental health hazards; protective measures; and safety precautions for handling, storing and transporting the chemical. The information contained in the SDS must be in English (although it may be in other languages as well). In addition, OSHA requires that SDS preparers provide specific minimum information.
