Always be familiar with the hazards of a product before you start using it. You should look at an SDS, match the name of the product on the container to the one on the SDS, know the hazards, understand safe handling and storage instructions, as well as understand what to do in an emergency. You can think of the SDS as having four main purposes. It provides information on: - a. Identification : for the product and supplier. - b. Hazards: physical (fire and reactivity) and health. - c. Prevention: steps you can take to work safely, reduce or prevent exposure, or in an emergency. - d. Response : appropriate responses in various situations (e.g., first-aid, fire, accidental release). For most people who work with hazardous products, you should always: - read the name of the chemical (Section 1), - know the hazards (Section 2), - understand safe handling and storage instructions (Section 7), and - understand what to do in an emergency (Sections 4, 5 and 6). ## A few things to know: - Make sure that the product is being used in the way the manufacturer intended; otherwise the advice provided on the SDS and label may not apply, or the protective measures listed may not be adequate. Section 1 of the SDS should describe the typical use of the product and may indicate restrictions. Ask your supervisor or a health and safety professional for advice if the way you use the product does not match the SDS. - Section 2 will summarize the hazards related to the product, precautions to take, and what to do in an emergency. Understand that the SDS covers information about the potential hazards, but may not be specific about the required safe work procedures needed for your workplace (e.g., the SDS may not specify what type of respirator must be used, just that a respirator is needed). More information can be found by asking your supervisor. These decisions may require the help of a safety professional or someone with chemical safety knowledge. Fact sheet last revised: 2023-03-3…
