Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
What is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?
An SDS is a document that has a specific 16-section format in alignment with the UN's Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) that the manufacturer, importer, or distributer of a chemicals product is required to provide to users. An SDS provides information so that users who handle the chemical have the hazard information to safely use, handle and store the product.
Employees of P-BVUSD who use chemicals or hazardous materials are responsible for:
- Completing Safety Data Sheet (SDS) training once HSW sends the training notification as required by OSHA.
- Read and understand the information on the SDS.
- Follow all recommendations and procedures set on the SDS training.
- Be familiar with the SDS and the possible safety hazards of the products you will be using.
- Learn how to access the online SDS eBinder via VelocityEHS online.
