Talk With Your Unit HAZMAT Officer

The MSDS is a document which describes the physical and chemical properties of products, their physical and health hazards, and precautions for safe handling and use.

A MSDS must be maintained for each hazardous chemical on the chemical inventory.

Material Safety Data Sheets
