Safety Data Sheet

Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides safety information of a chemical. It includes the hazard identification based on Global Harmonisation System (GHS), composition, first aid, firefighting and spill measures, safe storage, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements, Dangerous Goods (DG) classifications, etc.

It is a legal requirement that staff and students must have access to SDS of the chemicals they use. At the University, SDS are readily available from Chemwatch.

Further information about SDS is available in the Chemical Management Guidelines.
