Chemical safety
guidelines
To minimize the hazards of chemicals:
• Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) provided by the chemical
manufacturer before you store, handle, or work with any chemicals or hazardous
materials. (See “About SDSs” on page 78.)
• Minimize contact with chemicals. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment when handling chemicals (for example, safety glasses, gloves, or
protective clothing). For additional safety guidelines, consult the SDS.
• Minimize the inhalation of chemicals. Do not leave chemical containers open. Use
only with adequate ventilation (for example, fume hood). For additional safety
guidelines, consult the SDS.
• Check regularly for chemical leaks or spills. If a leak or spill occurs, follow the
manufacturer’s cleanup procedures as recommended in the SDS.
• Comply with all local, state/provincial, or national laws and regulations related to
chemical storage, handling, and disposal.
SDSs
About SDSs
Chemical manufacturers supply current Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) with shipments of
hazardous chemicals to new customers. They also provide SDSs with the first
shipment of a hazardous chemical to a customer after an SDS has been updated. SDSs
provide the safety information you need to store, handle, transport, and dispose of the
chemicals safely.
Each time you receive a new SDS packaged with a hazardous chemical, be sure to
replace the appropriate SDS in your files.
