Safety Data Sheets

Safety Data Sheets are provided by suppliers and manufacturers of hazardous substances considered dangerous for supply.

The supplier must send the data sheet when the substance is first ordered or if the formulation changes. The Safety Data Sheet provides more technical and detailed information about the substance, how to use it safely and what to do in an emergency situation.

Employees who work with such substances should be provided with a copy of the data sheet. If one is not provided, you should request one from your employer.
