Proper handling and safe use of chemicals
Material safety data sheets (MSDS) and safety data sheets (SDS) are part of a hazard communication plan that
supplies detailed information about hazardous 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 hazardous 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 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) be made available for chemicals that are supplied with the product and chemicals
used in or on the product. This list of chemicals is supplied by Hypertherm.
