An MSDS provides important safety information about chemical hazards and risks. It includes sections on physical data, toxicity, health effects, safe handling procedures, storage, and spill management. MSDS must be available for all chemicals in the laboratory. This activity teaches students to read and interpret hazard labels and MSDS to identify hazards, required protective equipment, safe handling and disposal of chemicals.

Material Safety Data Sheet


Hazard is something that is a potential source of harm that could be: biological,
chemical, electrical, flammable, thermal, radiation, radioactivity, auditory, sharps or
activities like slippage/crushing. A hazard can also be the absence of something.

Risk is the exposure to the chance of injury or loss. Risk is the combination of the
likelihood and consequences of an undesirable event related to a specific hazard or
threat. The risk associated with the biological materials in the laboratory has a safety
and a security component. Biorisk encompasses biosafety and biosecurity.

One way that consumers, workers and laboratory personnel are informed of the
risks is by use of material safety data sheets (MSDS). An MSDS is a form containing
data regarding the properties of a particular substance. It includes information such as
physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first
aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures.
An MSDS must be on file and available for each chemical in the laboratory.

OBJECTIVES
