A material safety data sheet (MSDS) provides a wealth of information about a substance and whether or not it is hazardous. Typical information provided relates to chemical composition, whether it is hazardous or not, PPE requirements, physical properties, use, storage, labelling, disposal, type of fire extinguisher required as well as environmental information should the substance be spilled. The Department has provided a link to ChemWatch which provides a wealth of information about substances commonly used in schools.
