MSDS Material Safety Data Sheet - a document that provides pertinent information and a profile of a particular hazardous substance or mixture. An MSDS is normally developed by the manufacturer or formulator of the hazardous substance or mixture. The MSDS is required to be made available to employees and operators whenever there is the likelihood of the hazardous substance or mixture being introduced into the workplace. Some manufacturers prepare MSDS for products that are not considered to be hazardous to show that the product or substance is not hazardous. 

Complete and accurate written documentation of chemicals properties, process teclinology, and process equipment is essential to the PSM program and to a process hazards analysis (PrHA). This information serves many users including the PrHA team. The needed chemical information includes fire and explosion characteristics, reactivity hazards, safety and health hazards and the corrosion and erosion effects. Current material safety data sheet (MSDS ) information helps meet this requirement, but must be supplemented with process chemistry information regarding runaway reactions, and over-pressure hazards. 

The MSDS from the chemical manufacturer identifies hazards for entry in the spreadsheet in columns 8 and 10. This is performed for all chemicals that are associated with the process, if the analysis is hmited to a process, or for a plant. The spreadsheet may be filled out variously according to convenience and effectiveness. It is practically impossible to get all needed information from documentation alone. A plant walk-through is advised for viewing operating conditions as they exist, for interviewing operators about the risk concerns that they have, and about the operability of safety and mitigation systems. These results are entered into the spreadsheet. 

If testing involves a new product that is not yet in commercial trade, the manufacturer should ship products from the same batch of the same formulation to each test location. The most recent product quality analysis and an appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must accompany the product shipment. The shipping documents and the certificate of analysis for each shipment must be archived in the raw data for the report. If the residue testing is being done to register a new use for a commercial product, the Study Director must make sure that the product available in each location is the same formulation and that each different batch encountered has its own certificate of analysis to be archived along with a copy of the label and product quality analysis of the material used for the test. Material shipped in noncommercial containers must... 

Be aware that MSDSs for the same material but from different sources can vary considerably in what they report as hazards. For this reason, it is wise to consult multiple MSDSs and other sources before concluding that a material is or is not hazardous. In addition to MSDSs, there are many other readily available references that can provide similar information, often in more detail than the MSDS. Several are listed in the Where Can I Get More Help section of this document, under Reactive Materials. 

Material Technical Sheets are to be generated when MSDS information is not sufficient to adequately determine the hazards of a chemical. The site will establish and document a rationale for determining when Material Technical Sheets are needed. It is recommended that potential hazards of the chemicals will be a determining factor in the rationale. 

The Material Technical Sheet provides a document to list data specific to the technology of a process chemical and the reference of the source of the data. Sources may include MSDS, vendor literature, standard reference handbooks, or design tests or experiments. 

Clearly it is not feasible to describe all the chemicals that one could come across in all different types of work, nor would it be all that useful. In point of fact, in most jurisdictions it is mandatory that the manufacturer of a chemical used in the workplace must provide information to the user on the nature of that particular chemical, its potential hazard, and the steps that should be taken both to protect against it and to treat any emergency exposure that may occur. This information document is generally known as an MSDS (Manufacturer s Safety Data Sheet) and should be available to all concerned in any place where that chemical is in use. This book is not intended to usurp the MSDS. In all cases in which a strange chemical is in use, the MSDS should be consulted. This book is intended to acquaint the reader with some of the problems derived from ordinary, everyday chemicals. 

Essentially, a user should be able to contact their excipient distributor and request a particular excipient, and the distributor should perform all of the sourcing activities, such as elucidating the exact grade of material required, if not already specified provide documentation generated by the manufacturer [product specifications or data sheets, typical C of A, material safety data sheets (MSDS)] and obtain samples of representative lots of the excipient free of charge for the user. 

MSDS Material Safety Data Sheet a (legal) document that must accompany any supplied chemical that provides information on chemical content, physical properties, hazards, and treatment of hazards. The MSDS should be considered only a minimal source of information, and cannot replace additional information available in other, more comprehensive sources. 

All MSDS documents have to be updated every 3 years and fresh versions issued. With the first delivery or sample of any material, a copy of the MSDS must be received and studied before use. The documents must be available to all people coming in contact with the material. The terms used therein should be fully explained and understood by all. 

All MSDS documents must be read from a practical as well as scientific viewpoint. The most appropriate grade of safety equipment must be used. The equipment must stop the offending material from reaching the person it is protecting. The useful life of the equipment must not be exceeded. Engineering the problem out is the best solution. An example is the fully automated system for handling MOCA. 

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) A document required by law to be supplied to a user of a hazardous product, to assist the user in safe use and handling of the hazardous product. 

Under the Industrial Safety and Health Law, unlike the Chemical Substances Control Law, all chemical substances including a chemical substance regulated by other laws, such as the Food Sanitation Law in lapan and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, and used exclusively for the purpose permitted by such laws must be notified. Notification of a substance is accepted if it shows a negative result for the test and the notification document is complete. On acceptance, the substance can be manufactured and / or imported. If the substance shows a positive result for the test, the competent authority requires that additional tests be performed, such as a chromosomal aberration test, and the provision to workers who handle the substance with the information on safety, handling methods and emergency measures for the substance described in a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). 

The manufacture or import of surfactants into the US results in worker exposure to these chemicals. OSHA hazard communication requirements were promulgated to protect workers and are specified in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1900. They define the testing conditions under which a surfactant is deemed to be hazardous which then trigger the requirement for a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). It must be freely available for inspection by workers. Although OSHA requires MSDS documents only for hazardous materials, practically all chemicals in commerce have MSDS papers prepared by chemical producers. 

Use and disposal of potentially hazardous chemicals are becoming heavily regulated. Proper storage, maintenance of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) about each chemical, and the control and documentation of hazardous waste disposal are among the required responses to laboratory safety. An institution Safety Officer can provide necessary information about reporting and disposal requirements.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) A document, required by OSHA (U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations, that provides a thorough profile of a potentially hazardous substance or product. The MSDS profile includes recommendations of how to handle the product, as well as how to treat a person who swallows the product, gets the product in the eyes or is otherwise overexposed. Manufacturers of such products, such as cleansers, solvents and coatings, provide these MSDS sheets at no cost to customers and end users. 

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are published by the company that manufactures the material covered on the sheet. Citations should include the title of the data sheet, which is the name of the material the MSDS number the manufacturing company the location of the company and the date on which the document was released. If the online version was used, the designation Online is included in brackets after the MSDS number, and the URL and date accessed are included at the end of the citation. 

A product-specific material safety data sheet (MSDS) is prepared for each product that has been formulated for a customer. Any time a change in the formula or an ingredient substitution is made in that product, a new update of the MSDS information is performed. In addition, the customer is notified that the original product has changed and the new MSDS is the document that should be consulted for product health, safety, and environmental information. The most current product MSDS then accompanies each shipment of product from the manufacturing facility.
