ANSI Material Safety Data Sheets

Since hazardous chemicals are found in many work places, it is important to know what to do if they leak, spill, or catch on fire. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be available to anyone who handles, stores, transports, and works with chemicals.

An MSDS can come in many formats, but this online training video focuses on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) form. Viewers learn where to find information about the material and its hazards, what should be done if a problem occurs, what precautions should be taken, and other important information about the material.

This course emphasizes that workers should know where to find the MSDS, read them before handling hazardous chemicals, and ask for help if needed. Take this online training course to learn how to prepare employees with the safety information needed when working with hazardous chemicals.
