Material Safety Data Sheetsinformation sheet containing relevant informationVital in the safe use of the chemical or preparation at workwritten in layman language It is to convey physical hazard, health hazard and environmental hazard of the chemical to the end user.*

Material Safety Data SheetsAre to be provided by Suppliers with all deliveries

MUST be Accessible to EVERYONE in the workplace

Must be current (ALWAYS up-to-date by supplier)

Must be made available to attending physician in the event of exposure

*NOTE! Not all MSDSs are the same! Section numbers and contents can VARY with each MSDS

Section 1- Chemical Product & Company IdentificationTells you the name of the chemical

The name and address of the company that makes the chemical

The phone numbers to call for information or in an emergency

Product Identification1. Product IdentificationSynonyms: Formaldehyde 37%; Formalin; Morbicid Acid; Methylene Oxide; Methyl aldehyde CAS No.: 50-00-0 Molecular Weight: 30.03 Chemical Formula: HCHO and CH3OH in water Product Codes: J.T. Baker: 2105, 2106, 2107, 2108 Mallinckrodt: 5014, 5016

CAS number is a unique identifier for each chemical (like a Social Security Number). It eliminates confusion when there are numerous chemical synonyms

Section 2- Composition/ Information on Ingredient

Hazardous ingredients

Chemical identity information

Common names

Composition/Information on Ingredients2. Composition/Information on Ingredients Ingredient CAS No Percent Hazardous ------------------------------------- ------------ ------------ --------- Formaldehyde 50-00-0 37% Yes Methyl Alcohol 67-56-1 10 - 15% Yes Water 7732-18-5 48 - 53% No It is important to know how much of each ingredient is present to help determine toxicityA generic determination of the chemicals toxicity. Not supplied on all MSDSs(Formaldehyde)

Section 3 Physical and Chemical PropertiesYou can control potential hazards by understanding their characteristics such as boiling and melting point

Vapor pressure and vapor density and evaporation rate (so you know if the chemical vapors are heavier than air, collect near the floor)

Solubility in water (so you know if a chemical will dissolve in water, sink, or float)

Normal appearance and odor

If the product is a mixture, the data should describe the mixture

Section 4 Hazard Identificationstate the most important hazards of the product

emergency and first aid procedures.

The most important hazards include the health, physical and environmental hazard

It should be in layman's language, easy to understand, and procedures for each potential route of exposure should be included. SOME SUBSTANCES JUST DONT MIX WELL

Hazards Identification3. Hazards IdentificationEmergency Overview -------------------------- POISON! DANGER! SUSPECT CANCER HAZARD. MAY CAUSE CANCER. Risk of cancer depends on level and duration of exposure. VAPOR HARMFUL. HARMFUL IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. STRONG SENSITIZER. MAY BE FATAL OR CAUSE BLINDNESS IF SWALLOWED. CANNOT BE MADE NONPOISONOUS. FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. General overview of chemicals risks(Formaldehyde)

Hazards IdentificationRatings (Provided here for your convenience) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Health Rating: 3 - Severe (Poison) Flammability Rating: 2 Moderate Reactivity Rating: 2 Moderate Contact Rating: 3 - Severe (Corrosive) Lab Protective Equip: GOGGLES & SHIELD; LAB COAT & APRON; VENT HOOD; PROPER GLOVES; CLASS B EXTINGUISHER Storage Color Code: Red (Flammable) Color coding system on slide in Section 7 Handling/Storage(Formaldehyde)

Section 5 First Aid Measuresaddressed to exposed individuals, first aid personnel and ambulance personnel.

It describe the initial care that can be given without the use of sophisticated equipment and without a wide selection of medication available.

If medical attention is required the data should show this.

This section, is one of the most important parts of the MSDS to you. It tells how a chemical could enter your body.

Inhaling

Swallowing

Through the skin

Eye contact

*

Section 6 Fire Fighting MeasuresThis section state the flammability data fire fighting mediafire fighting instructions and special hazard (explosion hazards in presence of various chemical)

*

Section 7 Accidental Release MeasuresThis section provide on the actions to be taken in the event of an accidental release (including leaks and spills) of a chemical. It include information to minimize a spill or leakEnvironmental precautionsMethod of cleaning up spills and leakswarning.

*

*

Section 8 Handling & StorageThis section include all data required for the safe handling and storage requirements of the chemicalLocationVentilationTemperature conditionType of container

any other precautions you might need to follow to protect yourself and those around you.

*

*

Section 9 Exposure Control & Personal ProtectionDiscusses the degree of engineering control that may be needed when handling the material, and the personal protective equipment that should be used if there is a potential for exposure above the regulatory or suggested limits.

Exposure guidelines, such as OSHA PELs and ACGIH TLVs should be included in this section.

The MSDS will explain what types of equipment to use when you work with this substance, such as:Type of respiratorGlovesEye protectionOther protective clothes and equipmentWhen in doubt, ask your supervisor, and follow instructions.

*

*

Section 10 Stability & ReactivityThis section describe conditions that may result in a potentially hazardous reaction, such as evolution of hazardous gases, production of heat, or other hazardous conditions.

*

*

Section 11 Toxicological InformationThis section include any known information resulting from animal testing or human experience on the toxicity of the material. Also included would be information on its potential for causing cancer. Data should be included for acute, subchronic, and chronic exposures, if available.

*

*

*Section 12 Ecological InformationThis section should list impacts to the environment that may occur if the material is released to the environment, or in evaluating waste treatment practices.

*

*Section 13 Disposal ConsiderationThis section is intended to provide guidance to environmental and other technical people responsible for waste management for the product.cover the correct way to dispose of the hazardous substanceInclude specific recommendationDisposal containersDisposal methodThe need to check local statutory requirementsSpecial precautions for incineration or landfill You may need to ask your supervisor for specific information on disposal.
