MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheet. It is a document that provides information about the physical and chemical properties of a hazardous substance or product. The MSDS is intended to help ensure the safety of workers who handle or are exposed to the substance or product, by providing information on the potential health effects, safe handling procedures, and emergency response actions in case of exposure or spill. The information contained in an MSDS typically includes the chemical and physical properties of the substance, such as its melting point, boiling point, and flash point, as well as its potential health hazards, such as toxicity, flammability, and reactivity. The MSDS also provides information on the appropriate protective measures to be taken when handling the substance, such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe handling procedures. MSDSs are required by law in many countries, and are an important tool for employers, workers, and emergency responders to understand the hazards associated with a particular substance or product. They are also used in hazard communication programs to inform workers and others about the potential risks associated with a substance or product, and to promote safe handling practices.

3. INTRODUCTIONS
 A material safety data sheet is a technical document which provides detail and comprehensive
information on a controlled product related to-
 Health effect to the exposure of the product
 Health evaluation related to the product handling,storage or use.
 Measure to the protect workers at risk of exposure.
 Emergency procedures.[2]
 MSDS also called Safety data sheets.

4. WHO PREPARES AND PROVIDE MSDS?
o Manufactures and importers of dangerous goods and hazardous substances must prepare an MSDS for
each of their product.
o They must provide the current MSDS to employers or occupiers of premises.
o Review and revise each MSDS as often necessary.[2][3]

8. PURPOSE OF MSDS
o The main focus of an MSDS is to safeguard occupational health. It is mostly aimed at workplaces, and
it's considered a duty and often a legal requirement to provide workers with such information. Without
it, working in the environment could be unsafe and workers might have no idea what to do in an
emergency situation.
o Workers have the rights to safety and security.[1][3]

9. CONCLUSION (OTHER ASPECT OF MSDS)
 We should know that it can be a little challenging to read the MSDS sheets.
 However, it can also come in handy to several workers in today’s time. These people find it difficult to
read the information. That is why you need to first match the chemical name on its label with the one
mentioned on the sheet. Then you can read more about its usage, handling, and safety hazards.
 We also need to ensure that the material safety data sheet is up to date. [1][2]
 So We can say that the MSDS guidelines are a document developed by the manufacturer or supplier to
aware the user of chemical hazards and other information.[3]
 The MSDS provides highly valuable information on safe handling of materials used in laboratories. It is
therefore necessary that all should be made aware of the importance of MSDS sheets and should have
easy access to them at all time.
