Running a business or worksite comes with its fair share of responsibilities and regulations. One area that may be overlooked is your requirement to have material safety data sheets (MSDS) readily available for any hazardous materials you work with, store, or use in the workplace. An MSDS form should include all pertinent information about the material including physical data, firefighting instructions, toxicology information, storage and handling directions, emergency procedures and more. Not only do these forms help keep workers up-to-date on safety protocols when it comes to hazardous materials they regularly interact with at their job site; failure to comply can result in fines from overseeing regulatory agencies like OSHA . In this blog post , we will discuss everything you need to know about creating a compliant MSDS form for your business or worksite.

Ingestion |
White, odorless, granular powder. Corrosive to eyes, skin & digestive tract. Dust corrosive to respiratory tract. Due to high pH of product, release into surface water is harmful to aquatic life. Noncombustible. Reacts w/ acids & some organics.
Eye Contact: Corrosive, causes eye burns. Skin Contact: Corrosive, causes skin burns. Inhalation: Dust corrosive to
respiratory tract. Ingestion: Corrosive, causes burns to mouth, esophagus & stomach. Chronic Hazards: None known. Not
listed by NTP, IARC or OSHA as a carcinogen. Physical Hazards: Can etch glass if not promptly removed.
None known.
SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN CONTACT
Immediately flush skin w/ plenty of water for @ least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing & shoes. Seek medical attention immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
EYE CONTACT
Immediately flush eyes w/ plenty of water for @ least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses, if worn. Seek medical attention immediately.
INHALATION
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention.
INGESTION
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Seek medical attention immediately. If person is fully conscious, give cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
