The document discusses chemical hazard labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). It explains that chemical hazard labels use a numbering system to indicate health, flammability and reactivity risks. An MSDS provides information about safety hazards of a chemical, first aid measures, and emergency response procedures. It has a standardized format including sections that cover chemical identification, composition, hazards, safety precautions, and other important details. The MSDS aims to ensure safe handling of chemicals and appropriate response if accidents occur.

How to Read and Interpret a Material Safety Data Sheet!

13. What is an MSDS?
 Material Safety Data Sheet
 A concise document that contains all known
information about the chemical ...
 ... including any safety hazards, and ...
 ... the protective gear you will need to wear to avoid
injury to your person.

14. What if I still get injured by the
chemical?
 MSDSs also contain the first aid treatment for when
you have become exposed to a safety hazard, as well
as ...
 ... how to respond to an accident with the chemical
that does not involve your body (spill, etc.).

15. The MSDS Format
 Must have a heading.
 Must cover 16 different
informational categories.

16. Heading
 Name and address of the manufacturer
 telephone numbers: transportation emergency
number, non-transportation information and
emergency numbers
