MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET / SAFETY DATA SHEETS

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are now called Safety Data Sheets (SDS) by the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

To learn more about the name change and the GHS standards visit the CCOHS website.

The law requires Canadian employers to have Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in the workplace for the specific chemicals they use. The purpose of an SDS is to provide employees and emergency workers with detailed safety information and proper handling instructions.
