Safety Data Sheets/Technical Data sheets

The Safety data sheet (SDS) and technical data sheets (TDS) includes information such as the properties of each chemical; the physical, health, and environmental health hazards; protective measures; and safety precautions for handling, storing, and transporting the chemical Safety data sheets can easily be obtained if they are not at hand. A simple online search for particular product will get you results if a hard copy isn’t available. Be sure to check the date/version of the SDS and ensure it is valid.

In some cases, you may be given company specific safety instructions relevant to the nature of the work you will be carrying out. For example, using chemicals while working on ropes or working in enclosed areas.

Any questions regarding SDS should be directed towards site leads or the manufacturers.
