Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

The U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) requires manufacturers and importers of hazardous chemicals to distribute Material Safety Data Sheets to purchasers or users of the chemicals upon request. MSDS contain information about hazards of the product, how to use the product safely, what to expect if the recommendations are not followed, what to do if accidents occur, how to recognize symptoms of overexposure, and what to do if such incidents occur.
