Safety Data Sheets (SDS) (MSDS) Online Training

Safety Data Sheets – An Introduction

The Safety Data Sheet is the internationally accepted basis for supplying sound written scientific information on hazardous substances.

A SDS, sometimes called an MSDS for Material Safety Data Sheet, provides essential information that includes how to use substances safely, without harmful effects to people, or the environment.
