Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are chemical information sheets provided by the manufacturer. Your employer is

required to have a MSDS for each chemical in the workplace.

YOU WILL FINDMATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS

IN MSDS BOOKSLOCATED THROUGHOUT HCC.


In your packet of information you have a MSDS for a product called Zip Strip. As you can see, the information on this MSDS is divided into 16 sections. Because companies throughout the world are changing to the new Global Harmonized System from Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to Safety Data Sheets (SDS), you may find some that may look different, but they all have information to protect you.

Sections in a MSDS


LABELING OF SECONDARY CONTAINERS

Secondary containers are containers that products may be transferred into. Labels must identify:

• Product Name• Hazardous Chemicals it Contains• Words or Pictures showing Key Hazards• Manufacturer’s Name & Phone Number

(Optional)


NFPA VS HMIS LABELING

NFPA AND HMIS LABELS USE A NUMERICAL RATING SCALE TO INDICATE THE LEVEL OF THE HAZARD. THESE NUMBERS ARE FILLED IN THE SQUARES ON THE LABELS ON THE NEXT PAGE.

THE RATING SCALE IS 0 – 4.

0 = LOW HAZARD4 = HIGH HAZARD
