CAUTION Avoid exposure to potentially harmful materials.
By law, producers and suppliers of chemical compounds are required to provide their
customers with the most current health and safety information in the form of Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) or Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). The MSDSs and SDSs must
be freely available to lab personnel to examine at any time. These data sheets describe the
chemicals and summarize information on the hazard and toxicity of specific chemical
compounds. They also provide information on the proper handling of compounds, first
aid for accidental exposure, and procedures to remedy spills or leaks.
Read the MSDS or SDS for each chemical you use. Store and handle all chemicals in
accordance with standard safety procedures. Always wear protective gloves and safety
glasses when you use solvents or corrosives. Also, contain waste streams, use proper
ventilation, and dispose of all laboratory reagents according to the directions in the MSDS
or SDS.
