Materials Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS)
When a chemical is purchased, the supplier will send a MSDS sheet.
The MSDS sheet lists the known dangers of the chemical in question.
Your school should keep a file of MSDS sheets.
Many people feel that the MSDS sheets overstate the dangers.
Make sure you use the right MSDS sheet for the right chemical, as many chemical names sound similar.
The catalogs of major suppliers also list useful safety information.
