Hazardous Chemical Information - Safety Data Sheets

What are Safety Data Sheets (SDS)?

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are detailed documents that provide important information about harmful chemicals, including what they do, ways to handle them, the required emergency response procedures, and so on. Effective Safety Data Sheet (SDS) management ensures that such data must be easily available, updated, and properly used to improve the chemical safety in the workplace.
