Material safety data sheet availability

Additional information on health and safety aspects should be sought by consulting material safety data sheets available from suppHers of the chemical in question. In addition, most suppHers of bleaching chemicals, upon request, provide on-site training sessions by experts on the safe use and handling of their products.

To an experienced operator trained in the handling of industrial chemicals, the dimers present Httle cause for concern in handling or storage. The finished polymer coating presents even less of a health problem contact with the reactive monomer is unlikely. In the ancillary operations, such as cleaning or adhesion promotion, the operator must observe suitable precautions. Before using the process chemicals, operators must read and understand the current Material Safety Data Sheets, which are available from the manufacturers. 

Inhalation of certain fine dusts may constitute a health hazard. Eor example, exposure to siUca, asbestos, and beryllium oxide dusts over a period of time results ki the potential risk of lung disease. OSHA regulations specify the allowable levels of exposure to kigestible and respkable materials. Material Safety Data Sheets, OSHA form 20, available from manufacturers, provide information about hazards, precautions, and storage pertinent to specific refractory products. 

Those engaged in handling sulfuric acid should obtain detailed information on safe handling practices. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available from U.S. and European manufacturers. 

Health ha2ards linked to carbon disulfide are extensively covered (136). Also available are epidemiological studies (144—146), general reviews containing many references (147—150), and a Material Safety Data Sheet (151). 

Reactive Chemicals Exposure. The ha2ards associated with exposure to reactive chemicals vary with the chemicals produced. The multitude of chemicals produced electrochemically precludes a detailed discussion of these ha2ards. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available from suppHers. Anyone contemplating the production of a chemical must become thoroughly familiar with all safety, health, and environmental aspects of such production. 

Implied is the availability of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all products handled by the toller. The assessor should question the distribution system of product information. 

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.)... 

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.

A Caution Hydrogen fluoride and fluorine are dangerous materials. Exposure to them will cause severe, painful, and perhaps fatal injury. Exposure may not be evident for several hours. The procedures described here pose the risk of exposure to hydrogen fluoride and to elemental fluorine and should only be carried out by, or under the direct supervision of, qualified professionals. Qualified first aid treatment and professional medical resources must be established prior to working in the area. Prompt treatment is necessary to reduce the severity of damage from exposure and should be sought immediately following exposure or suspected exposure. Material safety data sheets are available from HF and fluorine suppliers. Their recommendations should be followed scrupulously. 

Material Safety Data Sheets (OSHA Form 20, see Figure 1) are available from suppliers for every chemical sold. These give valuable information of a specific nature and should be kept on file. A phone call to the nearest office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor will bring forth more information on safety, both oral and written. 

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) — Available from the chemical manufacturer and the marketing agent. Also available online at MSDS-SEARCH.com and at Sigma-Aldrich.com. (E,F,G,H)... 

Both the catalogue and material Safety Data Sheets are available on request or may be obtained from the web site of the European Pharmacopoeia. 

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... 

Pyridine and BF3 in methanol are hazardous and must be used only in a well-ventilated hood. A solvent partition after acylation helps remove residual pyridine from the sample. Material Safety Data Sheets for the derivatizing agents should be reviewed and kept readily available. 

The exact nature of each of these additives appears to be trade secret information since none of the Material Safety Data Sheets describing the hydraulic fluids presented in this profile identify these materials. In addition, no information concerning the exact production methods used in manufacturing these hydraulic fluids was located in the available literature. Nonetheless, they are probably manufactured in batch processes and then tested to insure that they conform to the specifications for which they are sold. The number, nature, and amount of each additive used in a batch may depend on availability, cost, or performance. 

Organophosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluids. The physical and chemical property information available for the organophosphate ester hydraulic fluid products and components is presented in Tables 3 A, 3-5, 3-8, and 3-9. Much of this information was abstracted from trade literature or data taken from material safety data sheets. While there is information on many of the major component chemicals in the hydraulic fluid products, there can still be major data uncertainties for products that involve mixtures of different components. While current manufacturing practices aim to minimize or eliminate the presence of such worrisome components as th-ortho-cresyl phosphate, there remain major uncertainties about the composition and properties of older products, which would be more commonly encountered as site contaminants at NPL sites. Additional information on physical and chemical properties for organophosphate ester hydraulic fluid products is, therefore, an important data need.
