DESCRIPTION
SDS stands for Safety Data Sheet. If not handled correctly, many products and substances used in the workplace could cause:
? serious personal injury;
? injury to other employees;
? injury to the public;
? environmental damage;
? equipment damage;
? loss of production; and
? a negative public image.
Incidents involving the use of hazardous substances usually occur because:
? we don?t know the health hazards; and
? we don?t know the safe handling precautions.
If a mishap does occur when using hazardous substances, the outcome can be worse, if:
? you don?t wear the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE);
? you don?t know the required first aid procedures; and
? you don?t follow the correct emergency procedures.
