Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

 

A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document that provides detailed information about the physical, chemical, explosive, and radioactive properties of hazardous materials included in a shipment. It is typically supplied by the exporter, often through the manufacturer, and is specifically required when transporting dangerous goods. The MSDS serves as a comprehensive resource, offering crucial data to ensure the safe handling, storage, and transport of hazardous materials. It includes information about potential hazards, recommended safety precautions, emergency response procedures, and proper disposal methods. The MSDS, accompanied by a UN Number, plays a vital role in promoting awareness, compliance, and the protection of individuals and the environment when dealing with hazardous substances.
