  2. MODULE THREE SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDSs)

  3. Safety Data Sheets • Under the new Haz Com Standard, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are now called Safety Data Sheets (SDS). • All SDSs will have a consistent 16-section format. • Employers must ensure that SDSs are readily accessible to employees. Safety Data Sheets Material Safety Data Sheets

  4. Section 1 – Identification Section 2 – Hazard(s) identification Section 3 – Composition / Information on Ingredients Section 4 – First-aid Measures Section 5 – Fire-fighting Measures Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures Section 7 – Handling and Storage Section 8 – Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Section 9 – Physical and Chemical Properties Section 10 – Stability and Reactivity Section 11 – Toxicological Information Section 12 – Ecological Information* Section 13 – Disposal Consideration* Section 14 – Transport Information* Section 15 – Regulatory Information* Section 16 – Other information including date of preparation of last revision Safety Data Sheets (SDSs)New 16-section standardized SDS format required (ANSI Z400.1) *Sections outside of MIOSHA jurisdiction but inclusion of these sections is necessary for a GHS compliant SDS

  5. Safety Data Sheets (continued) Section 1 – Identification: Identifies the chemical on the SDS as well as the recommended uses. It also provides the essential contact information of the supplier. Section 2 - Hazards Identification: • Hazards of the chemical presented on the SDS • Appropriate warning information associated with those hazards.

  6. Safety Data Sheets (continued) Section 3 – Composition / Ingredients: Identifies the ingredient(s) contained in the product indicated on the SDS, including: • impurities and stabilizing additives. • information on substances, mixtures, and all chemicals where a trade secret is claimed. Section 4 - First-Aid Measures: Describes the initial care that should be given by untrained responders to an individual who has been exposed to the chemical.

  7. Safety Data Sheets (continued) Section 5 – Fire-Fighting Measures: Provides recommendations for fighting a fire caused by the chemical. Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures: Provides recommendations: • Appropriate response to spills, leaks, or releases, (e.g. containment and cleanup practices) • Response for large vs. small spills, if different.

  8. Safety Data Sheets (continued) Section 7 – Handling and Storage: Provides guidance on the safe handling practices and conditions for safe storage of chemicals. Section 8 – Exposure Controls / Personal Protection: Indicates the exposure limits, engineering controls, and personal protective measures that can be used to minimize worker exposure.

  9. Safety Data Sheets (continued) Section 9 – Physical and Chemical Properties: Identifies physical and chemical properties associated with the substance or mixture. Section 10 – Stability and Reactivity Describes the reactivity hazards of the chemical and the chemical stability information. Includes: reactivity, chemical stability, and other.

  10. Safety Data Sheets (continued) Section 11 - Toxicological Information: Identifies toxicological and health effects information or indicates is data unavailable. Section 12 – Ecological Information* Section 13 – Disposal Consideration* Section 14 – Transport Information* Section 15 – Regulatory Information* *Sections are outside of MIOSHA jurisdiction but must be included for a GHS compliant SDS.

  11. Safety Data Sheets (continued) Section 16 – Other Information Indicates when the SDS was prepared or when the last known revision was made. The SDS may also state where the changes have been made to the previous version.
