A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is designed to provide both workers and emergency personnel with the proper procedures for handling or working with a particular substance. I believe that proper chemical handling is essential to everyone's well being. We most of the time think that it does not pertain to us, but really if we are presently using paint thinners, mineral spirits, naphtha, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, bleaching agents such as oxalic acid and so on, then we are dealing with hazardous chemicals. In this paper, I will describe the most important parts that I think about MSDS and the way that it is handled at my company. .
MSDS include information such as hazard identification, first aid, exposure controls/personal protection, reactivity, storage, disposal, etc. These are of particular use in case any accident occurs. In my opinion, I think that the most important parts of a MSDS are the exposure controls/personal protection and first aid. The proper use of personal protective equipment is of the utmost importance, and the guidelines presented in this section must be closely followed. Descriptions of specific equipment (goggles, gloves, respiratory protection, etc.) required for routine use are given. By following rules listed in this section, we can avoid being exposure to any hazard at work. I also think that the First Aid procedures are important because they described each of the normal routes to follow in case of any exposure. It is very important that first aid be administered as soon as possible after exposure has occurred. .
Chemical manufacturers and suppliers are required by federal law to inform the consumer of the potential hazards of their product. Chemicals are considered hazardous when they pose a threat to your health. As such, they must have a label and a current MSDS to alert you of proper handling, along with any associated health risks. Symptoms could be as minor as headaches, dizziness and skin irritations, or as serious as chronic effects related to respiratory illness, cancer or even death.
