The purpose of Material safety data sheets is to inform you of:
* The material’s chemical make-up.
* The material’s physical properties or fast acting health effects that makes it dangerous to handle.
* The level of protective gear you need to wear to work safely with the material.
* The first aid treatment to be provided when someone is exposed to the material.
* The pre-planning needed for safely handling spills, fires, and day-to-day operations.
* How to respond to accidents.
