a MSDS is produced by chemical manufacturers and importers. They relay chemical, physical, and hazard information about specific chemicals.
Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are provided by chemical manufacturers and indicate possible hazards resulting from use of the material. The MSDS must be in English and contain: Information on the identity of the chemical Its common name(s) Specific ingredients and their individual hazards How it could get into a your body Permissible exposure limits Precautions for safe handling and use Emergency and first-aid procedures The name, address and telephone number of the party responsible for preparing or distributing the material safety data sheet A description, in lay terms, of the specific potential health risks posed by the hazardous substance Other detailed information.
