What You Need to Know for the A+ Test
The letters MSDS are an acronym for
Materials Safety Data Sheet. The manufacturers and/or importer of a
substance that may cause harm anyone exposed to that substances are
required provide a MSDS. The sheet outlines what that substance contains;
hazards inherent to that substance, proper and safe usage; methods and
procedures for protection from exposure and what to do in the event
of mishap. A MSDS is required to be readily available for all hazardous
substances present in the workplace. Finally, if you need information
about the hazards of a substance, you can find that information in that
product’s MSDS. Now, you should be able answer the one or two
questions that you may encounter on the test.
The problem that exists with the
above paragraph is, although all the information that you may need to
know can be found in the MSDS, many find that information difficult
to understand or even find. Besides having to search among all the
key words and buzz phases, acronyms and technical jargon and sometimes
out right double talk, there is not an established order or required
format. MSDSs will differ greatly in format and informational content
depending on the properties of the material and/or the manner, which
the MSDS was prepared.
Sadly, even a simple use of a common
product such as an electrical contact cleaner can affect devastating
consequences, if the product is used improperly, or if one does not
react in a timely manner to signs of an adverse effect. Having a MSDS
in the workplace is of little value if you will not read it or cannot
understand the information that it’s contains. That is the purpose
of including this section on the MSDS in this study guide. First, the
hope of instilling in you the value of the information contained in
a MSDS. Next, to give you the ability to understand and utilized that
information.
