What is MSDS?What is MSDS?
Material Safety Data Sheet
They provide pertinent information to employees about
hazardous materials and chemicals in the workplace.

What information does a MSDS show?What information does a MSDS show?
• Manufacturer information
• Chemical synonyms

LabelingLabeling
• A manufacturer’s label (on a container) is the first place to look for information.
![Page 7: NUECES COUNTY Risk Management Department Right to Know](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b9dd2550346d6338b6526/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Basic Chemical Container LabelsBasic Chemical Container Labels
• Chemical labels are not a substitute for a MSDS.
• Some chemicals pose little danger, others are deadly.
• Remember - Hazardous chemicals are everywhere!

Color Coded LabelsColor Coded Labels
• Many chemical manufacturers use color coded labels so that incompatible materials and chemicals with different hazard characteristics can be properly segregated from each other.

NFPA Color-Coded Labeling System
NFPA Color-Coded Labeling System
• Developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
• Higher the number the greater the risk

• Corrosive = destroys living tissue on contact
• Toxic = hazardous to your health
• Flammable = readily catch fire
• Reactives = react violent with materials in otherwise stable situations

Labeling RequirementsLabeling Requirements
• All hazardous chemicals introduced into the workplace need to be in labeled containers that meet the requirements of OSHA
• Two types of containers and labels:
Primary label Secondary label
![Page 15: NUECES COUNTY Risk Management Department Right to Know](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b9dd2550346d6338b6526/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Primary Container and Label
Primary Container and Label
• Prepared by the manufacturer of the chemical
• Affixed to all containers before shipped to buyers
• Label must include: Identity of chemical Appropriate hazard warnings Name & address of the manufacturer,
distributor, or responsible party
![Page 16: NUECES COUNTY Risk Management Department Right to Know](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b9dd2550346d6338b6526/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Secondary Container & Label
Secondary Container & Label
• May only be used in that facility
• Labels include: Identity of chemical Appropriate hazard warning
This should be labeled.

Hazard PotentialHazard Potential
2 things to consider:
• Dose is the amount of exposure.
• Toxicity is the degree to which a chemical is harmful.
![Page 20: NUECES COUNTY Risk Management Department Right to Know](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b9dd2550346d6338b6526/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Health Hazards - DosageHealth Hazards - Dosage
• Toxic effects increase as exposure increases.
• ALL CHEMICALS EXHIBIT A TOXIC ALL CHEMICALS EXHIBIT A TOXIC EFFECT WITH A LARGE ENOUGH EFFECT WITH A LARGE ENOUGH DOSE!DOSE!

• Quick onset
• Health effects that occur after a single exposure
• Usually reversible
CHRONIC EFFECTS
• Takes a long time to start
• Health problems occur after repeated or long exposure
• Usually can not be reversed
