Consulting the SDS

It is important to consult an SDS BEFORE introducing a new chemical to your work area or when questions arise while working with hazardous substances.

SDS should accompany all products covered under the Right to Know law. If an SDS is not received with a chemical product you ordered, contact your supervisor.

Remember, every effort should be made to obtain an SDS.

You may request copies of a SDS from your supervisor or through the department’s Right to Know Coordinator. They can obtain SDS directly from the manufacturer or the distributor. Keep in mind, however, that it may be necessary to contact the vendor directly. Also, various SDS links on the Internet provide a wealth of information and for general purposes.
