WHAT IS A SAFETY DATA SHEET (SDS)?
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a document that contains information on the potential health effects of exposure and how to work safely with the chemical product. It contains hazard evaluations on the use, storage, handling, and emergency procedures, all related to that material. It is intended to tell what the product's hazards 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. SDSs should be the first source of information about the hazards associated with a chemical.
