Behind every
Right-to-Know label there is a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
An MSDS provides
more detailed information about a chemical and the hazards associated
with it. The MSDS also includes information on first aid and emergency
responses, personal protective equipment, handling instructions,
control measures, primary routes of entry, and other vital information
necessary for the safe use of hazardous chemicals. To learn what
is required on an MSDS, consult OSHA's
Hazard Communication Standard 1910.1200 (g).
As with RTK
labels, there are many ways to design and organize an MSDS. OSHA
recommends the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z400.1-1993
standard for the preparation of an MSDS. However, it is ultimately
up to manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers to determine
which format they use.
