What are material safety data sheets and why are they useful?

The convenience of MSDS lies in storing all the information regarding the safety management of hazardous substance exposure in one detailed document. A material safety data sheet must state the correct procedures for handling or working with that substance, information such as physical data, toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, transport and spill-handling procedures.

It is important that everyone in the workplace knows how to interpret MSDS, not only for safety reasons, but also to prevent legal compliance complications.
