A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides comprehensive information regarding identification, hazards, handling, first aid, and disposal of materials, formatted into 16 standardized sections by ANSI. For example, an MSDS for ethyl alcohol (70%) includes company identification, chemical composition, hazard identification, first aid measures, and fire-fighting measures among others. It is crucial for ensuring safe handling and awareness of potential health risks and environmental impacts associated with the material.
