Material Safety Data Sheets sections

The required notification must be provided at ieast annually In writing. Acceptable forms of notice are, for example, a letter, product labeling, and product literature distributed to customers. If you are required to prepare and distribute a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the mixture under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, your section 313 notification may be attached to the MSDS or the MSDS may be modified to include the required information. (A sample letter and recommended text for inclusion in an MSDS appear on pages E-4 and E-5 of this appendix.)...

Each hazardous chemical brought on-site is required by OSHA (in the U.S.) to have a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which lists the hazardous ingredients and includes a section on Reactivity Hazards. However, there are some significant limitations on using MSDSs to identify chemical reactivity hazards ... 

Less extensive than ISO/fEC 17025, section 4 of GLP states that all apparatus and materials should be appropriate for the tests, used in accordance with the SOPs, and calibrated, where appropriate, to national or international standards of measurement. Chemicals should be properly labeled, with expiration dates and available material safety data sheets. 

The Safety Section of the SOP is the most vital component, since it deals with the education and protection of those who will run the process. However, it covers more than the dangers addressed in the hazard evaluation phase. It requires the creation of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for all the chemicals needed in operating the process. It provides overall guidance on the safe operation of the process and identifies what protective gear to wear and what precautions are needed in the operation. These efforts are also inextricably linked with what needs to be done regarding process emissions and wastes. 

Both metallic and membrane electrodes have been used to detect end points in potentiometric titrations involving complex formation. Mercury electrodes are useful for EDTA titrations of cations that form complexes that are less stable than HgY- . See Section 21D-1 for the half-reactions involved and Equation 21-5 for the Nernst expression describing the behavior of the electrode. Hanging mercury drop and thin mercury film electrodes appropriate for EDTA titrations are available from a number of manufacturers. As always, whenever mercury is used in experiments like these, we must take every precaution to avoid spilling it, and it must be stored in a well-ventilated hood or a special cabinet to remove the toxic vapors of the liquid metal. Before working with mercury, be sure to read its Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and follow all appropriate safety procedures. 

The Standards Advisory Committee on Hazardous Materials Labeling was established under section 7(b) of the OSHA Act to develop guidelines for the implementation of section 6(b)(7) of the Act with respect to heizardous materials. On June 6,1975, the Committee submitted its final report which identified issues and recommended guidelines for categorizing and ranking chemical heizards. Labels, material safety data sheets (MSDS), and training programs were also prescribed. 

This section requires chemical manufacturers or importers to assess the hazards of chemicals which they produce or import, and all employers in SIC Codes 20 through 39 (Division D, Standard Industrial Classification Manual) to provide information to their employees about the hazardous chemicals to which they are exposed, by means of a hazard communication program, labels and other forms of warning, material safety data sheets, and information and training. In addition, this section requires distributors to transmit the required information to employers in SIC Codes 20-39. 

Material safety data sheet (MSDS) means written or printed material concerning a hazardous chemicsd which is prepared in accordance with paragraph (g) of this section. 

Employers shall develop and implement a written hazard communication program for their workplaces which at least describes how the criteria specified in paragraphs (f>, (g), and (h) of this section for labels and other forms of warning, material safety data sheets, and employee information and training will be met, and which also includes the following ... 

Material safety data sheets, while extensively recognizing fire and even explosive hazards, keep a low profile on the toxic properties of the bulk substance. They mention caustic properties on body surfaces, kidney failure, or central nervous system damage as risks after chronic ingestion. The toxicological data section is, however, blank (MSDS Index, 2000). 

When antidotes are known to help against particular intoxications, they should only be mentioned after consultation with a medical doctor, for example the application of a gel containing calcium gluconate for treatment of hydrofluoric acid burns. It should always be borne in mind that the instructions given on first-aid are primarily addressed to normal employees, not to the physician. The information needed can be obtained from Section 4 (first-aid) of the materials safety data sheet or from other sources. 

The CCMC is the only site organization authorized to approve the purchase of chemicals and chemical products. Chemical request forms sent to the CCMC undergo a review to ensure that the chemical or chemical product is not a currently stocked item the chemical is not available through the site Excess Chemical Program (see Section 2.7) the Site MSDS database has a current material safety data sheet (MSDS) the chemical does not pose an unreasonable risk to the workers or the environment and the requestor provides written justification for the use of any carcinogenic or ozone-depleting chemical product to be purchased. 

CFR1910.1200(h)(2)(iii) 4.1.3.3 The location and availability of the written hazard communication program, including the required list(s) of hazardous chemicals, and material safety data sheets required by this section. 

Section 4.1 consolidates the requirements for general employee information and training on hazardous chemicals in the workplace such as the location, availability and content of material safety data sheets (MSDSs) for the chemicals and chemical products being used or stored, methods to detect the presence of hazardous chemicals, personal protective measures, the details of the workplace hazard communications program, etc. 

Section 10 of the material safety data sheet for ferrous gluconate states that the complex is generally stable and that instability of ferrous gluconate at tanperatures has not been reported (MSDS 2005).

The Requirements section describes other resources that are needed in order to implement the philosophy. For example, if the Philosophy is to do with toxic gases, then the requirement may include MSDSs (Material Safety Data Sheets) for the chemicals under consideration. 

As discussed in Chapter 3, the selection of raw materials and chemical reactions is often suggested by chemists, biologists, biochemists, or other persons knowledgeable about the chemical conversions involved. In recent years, with the tremendous increase in awareness of the need to avoid handling hazardous and toxic chemicals, in connection with environmental and safety regulations (as discussed in Sections 1.3 and 1.4), raw materials and chemical reactions are often selected to protect the environment and avoid the safety problems that are evident in Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs). For example, recall that when the vinyl chloride... 

Graf provided updated recommendations in a paper in an article published in 1966. Material Safety Data Sheets are provided by the manufacturer when perchloric acid is purchased. An excellent summary of safety practices is given in the Internet reference at the end of this section. The recommendations from these and other sources are combined and summarized below. 

The purpose of this section is to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are evaluated, and that information concerning their hazards is transmitted to employers and employees. This transmittal of information is to be accomplished by means of comprehensive hazard communication programs, which are to include container labeling and other forms of warning, material safety data sheets, and employee training.
