A document provided by the manufacturer that states hazards found within specific products is known as what?

• A. Product Hazard Sheet
• B. Material Safety Guide
• C. Hazard Information Sheet
• D. Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Answer: (D)

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is the official document provided by the manufacturer that lists the hazards, safe handling, and emergency information for a chemical product. It gives you the hazard classification, ingredients, first-aid measures, personal protective equipment recommendations, spill response, storage, and disposal guidance. In infection control and risk assessment, the SDS is the primary reference for understanding chemical hazards in cleaners, disinfectants, and solvents and for determining appropriate controls and precautions. The other terms aren’t the standardized name for this document; historically the term MSDS was used, but the current standard is SDS.
