According to OSHA, what type of information must be provided in Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)?

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which are now referred to as Safety Data Sheets (SDS) under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), are crucial documents that provide detailed information about hazardous substances. The primary purpose of an MSDS/SDS is to inform users of the potential health effects of exposure to chemicals and the necessary safety precautions that should be taken when handling these substances.

This includes information about physical and chemical properties, health hazards, safe handling and storage procedures, emergency response measures, and necessary personal protective equipment. Having this information readily available helps ensure that workers are aware of the risks associated with the materials they may come into contact with and understand how to minimize those risks while maintaining a safe working environment.

The other options listed do not pertain to the content of an MSDS/SDS. Equipment maintenance instructions, employee personal information, and employee training records do not relate to the hazardous substance information that the MSDS/SDS is designed to convey.
