Safety Data Sheets

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires chemical manufacturers and importers to:Assess the chemicals they produce or import Provide hazard information to companies and workers by putting labels on containers and preparing safety data sheets (SDSs)

2

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

An SDS gives workers detailed information about the hazards of a specific material and how to control those hazards.

SDSs are divided into 16 sections of HCS-required information.

3

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

The SDS format provides a standardized format for classifying chemicals according to their health and physical hazards and specifies hazard communication elements for labeling and SDSs.

The information on an SDS must be in English, although it can be in other languages in addition to English.

4

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

Your company’s HCS Program must include procedures for having an SDS for each chemical and making them available for workers.

5

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

SDSs must be located in the area where the hazardous substances will be used and easily accessible for all workers.

All workers and contractors who could be exposed to the chemical must know where SDSs are located.

6

Make sure you read a chemical’s SDS before you use that chemical.

7

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

The 16 sections of the SDS include:

15

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

Section 8 lists the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) permissible exposure limits (PELs), the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists’ (ACGIH) threshold limit value (TLV), and identifies appropriate engineering controls and PPE.

16

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

Section 9 details the chemical’s physical and chemical properties, such as its color, odor, flash point, and density.

17

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

Section 10 identifies the chemical’s stability and the possibility of hazardous reactions.

18

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

Section 11 identifies the chemical’s toxicity level and the different routes of exposure. This section also details any signs and symptoms of exposure, including any acute or chronic effects.

19

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

Section 12 provides information to assess the environmental impact of the chemical if it were released into the environment.

20

PPT-SM-SDS-2019

Section 13 provides guidance for proper disposal, recycling, and reclamation practices.

21
