What information should a chemical Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provide?

• A. Hazards, safe handling, storage, exposure limits, emergency measures, and disposal guidance.
• B. Employee personal data.
• C. Only hazard classification.
• D. Marketing information.

Answer: (D)

Safety Data Sheets are designed to communicate hazards and how to work safely with a chemical. They should provide hazards, safe handling and storage instructions, exposure limits and required protective measures, and emergency steps, plus disposal guidance. The document may also include first-aid, firefighting, accidental release procedures, and regulatory information. Personal employee data and marketing information do not belong in an SDS, and hazard classification alone does not give the full guidance workers need.
