Chemical handling and usage
Material safety data sheets (MSDS) and safety data sheets (SDS) are part of a hazard
communication plan that supplies detailed information about dangerous chemicals. The information
includes the chemical’s toxicity and reactivity, first aid for exposure, approved storage and disposal,
recommended protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has presented new dangerous
chemical labeling requirements as a part of its recent revision of the Hazard Communication
Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), to align with the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The GHS is an international system for
standardizing chemical classification and labeling.
Chemical regulations in the USA, Europe, and other locations require that MSDS and SDS be
made available for chemicals that are supplied with the product and chemicals used in or on the
product. The list of chemicals is supplied by Hypertherm.
