MSDS refers to material safety data sheets. They are the most important part of every science laboratory. It include all the information and knowledge to handle the laboratory chemicals and other hazardous materials properly.

 

MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheet

Each chemical has a material safety data sheet (MSDS) that lists its hazards.

A material safety data sheet (MSDS), safety data sheet (SDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is an important component of product stewardship and occupational safety and health. It is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner, and includes information such as physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. MSDS formats can vary from source to source within a country depending on national requirements.
