What information is provided in Material Safety Data Sheets?

Only basic first aid tips
Instructions for cooking
Details on chemical safe use and hazards
Emergency contact numbers

The correct answer is: Details on chemical safe use and hazards

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which are now often referred to as Safety Data Sheets (SDS), are essential documents that provide comprehensive information about hazardous materials. They are used primarily in workplaces and healthcare settings to ensure the safe handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals. The correct choice emphasizes that these sheets contain details on safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular chemical. This includes information on the properties of the substance, health and physical hazards, protective measures, and safety precautions for handling and using the chemical. Furthermore, Material Safety Data Sheets typically outline first aid measures, but they do so in a more comprehensive manner than basic first aid tips; they provide precise instructions tailored to specific chemical exposures. While emergency contact numbers may be included, they are not the primary focus and are considered secondary information compared to the critical details about safe usage and hazards.
