Safety Data Sheets

What is a Safety Data Sheet?

SDS (Safety Data Sheet), formerly known as MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), is a document that provides detailed information around a chemical’s properties and its specific hazards. It outlines the precautions required when storing, transporting, and handling the chemical. 

The standardized format of the SDS is determined by the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). It is required by OSHA, that SDS documents are readily available for employees and follow the defined format.
