Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

Introduction

This five-day training is designed for those who work with hazardous chemicals. If there are hazardous chemicals in your workplace, you need to know about the material safety data sheet (MSDS). An MSDS is a written description of a hazardous chemical or chemical product and is the primary source of information about workplace chemicals for employers, workers, and the communities where the chemicals are manufactured or used. Each MSDS contains comprehensive technical information about a particular substance and explains the risks, precautions, and remedies to exposure related to hazardous chemicals. Key Points:

  • All employees must be able to access MSDS’s at all times, meaning the MSDS access management system must always be functional
  • All employees who need access to MSDSs must be trained to use the system effectively to quickly find a specific MSDS
  • Make sure employees have unimpeded access. If you rely on one of the electronic MSDS systems, avoid OSHA violations by making sure to provide a backup system
  • The MSDS is the foundation of chemical safety in the workplace
  • MSDSs must be accessible to you at all times
  • Always read the MSDS carefully before handling, storing, or disposing of any hazardous chemical
  • Be sure to ask a superior if you still have any questions about hazards or precautions after reading the MSDS

Objectives

    By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

    • Be trained on how to access MSDSs and interpret them and MSDSs must be readily available to employees in their work areas.
    • This important document reveals the hazards of the chemicals you work with and describes the precautions you need to take to keep safe and healthy

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
