What ​is MSDS

An MSDS is a document containing important information about a hazardous chemical (which may be hazardous substance and/ or dangerous goods) and must state the following basics;

• • • • A hazard substance’s name
      • The chemical and generic name of certain ingredients
      • The chemical and physical properties of the hazardous substance
      • The health hazard information
      • precautions for safe handling
      • Transport information, including IATA/IMDG/ADR requirements
      • The UN ID number

The MSDS provides employers, self-employed persons, workers and other health and safety representatives with the necessary information to safely manage the risk from hazardous substance exposure
