Material safety data sheets analysis

While material safety data sheets (MSDS) provide important information they may not provide information on all hazards that may be encountered during processing. A review of the MSDS is not a substitute for conducting a process hazards analysis. Additional information to consider should include ... 

Obtain all available information about the material. If it is a surplus or off-specification product, obtain an analysis or a Material Safety Data Sheet. If it is a waste, check for previous analyses, and if none exists, obtain one. (Even if a previous analysis exists, consider running a few screening-type field analyses for confirmation of important properties such as pH, redox potential, or other oxidizer test such as cyanide, sulfide, and flashpoint.)... 

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.

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...

In-line with general product specification. Always satisfy suitability for specific application. The data provided in this material safety data sheet is meant to represent typical data/analysis for this product and is correct to the best of our knowledge. The data was obtained from current and reliable sources, but is supplied without warranty, expressed or implied, regarding its correctness or accuracy. It is the user s responsibility to determine safe conditions for the use of this product, and to assume liability for loss, injury, damage or expense arising from improper use of this product. The information provided does not constitute a contract to supply to any specification, or for any given application, and buyers should seek to verify their requirements and product use. 

Tlie above data should be useful for tlic planning to be accomplished by tlie local emergency planning committee and first responders, especially fire departments and HAZMAT teams. Both tlie hazards analysis (discussed in detail in Parts II and IV) and tlie dei elopment of emergency countenneasures should be facilitated by the availability of MSDS information. If significant new information regarding a chemical is discovered, revised material safety data sheets must be submitted. 

Special models and programs are developed for such purposes as health and safety management and assessment, risk analysis and assessment, emission control and detection and quality control. Such a program may, for example, help the user to keep records regarding training, chemical inventories, emergency response plans, material safety data, sheet expiry dates and so on.

Prior to the processing of any lithium battery for recycling, the battery s material safety data sheet should be reviewed, and, if necessary, a complete analysis should be performed to determine the waste products. Components and chemicals are unique to each manufacturer and not each type of lithium battery. Many are similar but none are identical. Compoimds that can cause serious concern if overlooked include chrome, arsenic, fluorine, mercury, organic solvents, asbestos, lithium, and others. At the end of this chapter are two typical battery analyses performed by Toxco Inc., exemplifying the... 

In the chemical industry most companies will require a certificate of analysis (COA) for each shipment. Chemicals are supposed to have a Material Safety Data Sheet with each shipment. In the metals industry they use a similar method with customer tests, typically called a material certifi-catiorr. Packing slips accompar most orders, regardless of industry type. 

In order to be able to carry out the hazards analysis, information from sources such as P lDs and material safety data sheet (MSDS) is needed. Much of this information is included in the Knowledge Management program (element 6). 

Containers must be correcdy labelled with name and analysis of the product. Material safety data sheets giving aU important properties such as boiling and melting points, miscibihty with water and other solvents, inflammable nature, toxicity, precautions to be taken for safe handling, and how to collect and make a spillage harmless (absorb in ash/washing by copious amounts of water). 

Within the United States, the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires that a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) be prepared for chemicals that are hazardous according to the criteria described within the HCS. An American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard has been prepared by the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) with the aim of assisting the compilation of these MSDSs. This Standard [13], in final draft form, recommends the same 16 data elements, outlined above, as those applying within the European Union, and gives detailed advice on the compilation of each section, together with an analysis of the regulatory requirements in the United States, Canada and Europe. Example MSDSs are also included. 

Chemicals used in the quality control analyses in the shieided glove box (SGB) and ventilation hoods of the Quality Control Laboratory involve small (less than a liter) quantities of some acidic and basic chemicals, including ammonium thiocyanate, stannous chloride, sulfuric, nitric, and hydrochloric acids, ferric sulfate, carrier solutions, ethyl acetate, sodium nitrite, chloroform, sodium hydroxide, and potassium iodide. Material Safety Data Sheets for any processes implemented in the HCF are reviewed in accordance with the SNL ES H Manual to identify any carcinogens or other hazardous materials. Operations in the SGB for preparation of various Mo-99 product dilution samples would require a small bulk supply of sodium hydroxide (0.1 N NaOH). Quality control analysis sample preparation operations require small bulk supplies of the above chemicals. Workers performing quaiify control analysis use chemical handling procedures as required by the Sandia ES H Manual. 

It must be noted that one must review all relevant Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) prior to the analysis and take appropriate safety precautions. MSDSs are available from reagent manufacturers and on the World Wide Web.
