ACTION: IDENTIFY GENERAL
INFORMATION THAT MUST BE
CONTAINED ON A MATERIAL SAFETY
DATA SHEET (MSDS)

CONDITIONS: GIVEN A GARRISON

ENVIRONMENT AND A MSDS

STANDARDS: IAW DOD REG 6050.5

23
A MSDS IS A FORM CONTAINING INFORMATION
ABOUT A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. IT PROVIDES
MORE SAFETY AND HEALTH INFORMATION FOR
A PRODUCT\CHEMICAL THAN A WARNING
LABEL PROVIDES.

24
 UNITS ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A MSDS
FOR EACH HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL.
MANUFACTURERS ARE REQUIRED TO
DEVELOP A MSDS FOR EACH HAZARDOUS
CHEMICAL THEY PRODUCE.
MSDSs ARE KEPT IN EACH WORKPLACE
THAT CONTAINS THE HAZARDOUS
CHEMICAL.

 IN ENGLISH (AND OTHER
LANGUAGES IF NEEDED).

UNITS MAY DESIGN THEIR OWN

FORMAT AS LONG AS THE EIGHT
AREAS ARE INCLUDED.
