4 Material safety data sheets Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are an important part in the correct handling, transporting, storage and application of hazardous goods and substances. The MSDS list all the relevant safety details that might affect: the user future processes the materials themselves other goods, substances and/or materials that the referenced materials are likely to come in contact with. MSDS satisfy Australian Standards on the responsibilities of the manufacturer and those who are likely to be associated with the substance at any stage of its life. An example of the headings and their content in a MSDS are given on the following pages. If you have difficulty understanding any of the information on the MSDS, the National Code of Practice for the Preparation of MSDS (NOHSC: 2011) provides a definition for each of the recommended information categories. This is available on the Australian Safety and Compensation Council website, Commonwealth of Australia 2008 Page 7

5 Content of a MSDS Date of issue This section provides the date of issue for the MSDS not the product manufacture date. Check if it is up to date (not more than 5 years old). Manufacturer's or supplier s details This section tells you how to contact the supplier: company address telephone number emergency telephone number (Australia). Identification section This section is where you can check identification against the label (make sure you have the right MSDS): product names other names manufacturer s product code UN number. UN numbers apply to substances classified as dangerous goods. Some hazardous substances may also be dangerous goods and/or scheduled poisons: dangerous goods class and subsidiary risk Hazchem code the Hazchem code is for responding to road emergencies such as spills poison schedule number packaging group. Use This section is where you find the uses recommended or intended by the manufacturer and methods of application. These should be followed to ensure safe use. Physical description and properties This section covers a wide range of technical information on properties such as melting point, flash points and flammability. It also has information on reactivity with other common substances, which is very important when considering safe use and storage. Commonwealth of Australia 2008 Page 8
