Hi everyone! Thanks for watching. In this video we wanted to provide a quick, easy safety data sheet training to help simplify what is normally a pretty dry training. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
MSDS 1. Identification. 2. Hazards identification. 3. Composition/ information on ingredients. 4. First Aid measures. 5. Fire fighting measures. 6. Accidental release measures. 7. Handling and storage. 8. Exposure control/ personal protective equipment. 9. Physical and chemical properties. 10. Stability and reactivity. 11. Toxicological information. 12. Ecological information. 13. Disposal consideration. 14. Transport information. 15.Regulatory information. 16. Other information.
Great video with all the information quickly summarized , I wanted to add this to my WHMIS presentation for our staff but the background music is too loud, when put on larger speakers its very difficult to hear your voice over the music.
This video is great, because it's KISS - keep it simple. Right, wrong, or indifferent, I always train the worker that the first 10 sections are most relevant to them (11-16 are either too technical or for employer compliance not worker compliance) and that section 2 might just be their most important section - knowing the hazards of that substance (and to start there).
Cool, I can see the top 10 being best for a lot of employees. I think for RU-vid the entire 16 are good because the audience is so varied. But I agree, section 2 is also a great place to start! 🙂
Thanks for this concise walk-through. I agree with Chris that Section 2 should always be the starting point, as identifying the hazard and how it can cause harm is Step 1 of the five steps to risk assessment. I think you skirted over Section 8 a little - workplace or occupational exposure limits are really important as is the TYPE (standard, etc) of PPE that should be used. I always point people there to identify their risk control measures.
I think they really taught of it right. First you need to identify the product sometimes knowing the name will subconsciously tell you its hazardous so the product name etc.. it’s good where it is at section 1. Hazards information at section 2 is ok. I believe EHS did a great job and coming up with this. What is fascinating is that this is being adopted world wide. Great job am glad I learned this today.
thanks for this Ally, i have an interview for a maintenance positions (actually my second interview) and this video in particular gives me maaaad confidence. I'm subscribing and O.D.ing on your content. Thanks again. #CHECKTHESDS, fool!!!
Section 1-Identification: Product identifier, manufacturer or distributor name, address, phone number, emergency phone number, recommended use, and restrictions on use. Section 2-Hazard(s) identification: All hazards regarding the chemical and required label elements. Section 3-Composition/Information on ingredients: Information on chemical ingredients and trade secret claims. Section 4-First-aid measures: Required first aid treatment for exposure to a chemical and the symptoms (immediate or delayed) of exposure. Section 5-Fire-fighting measures: The techniques and equipment recommended for extinguishing a fire involving the chemical and hazards that may be created during combustion. Section 6-Accidental release measures: Steps to take in the event of a spill or release involving the chemical. Includes: emergency procedures, protective equipment and proper methods of containment and cleanup. Section 7-Handling and storage: Precautions for safe handling and storage, including incompatibilities. Section 8-Exposure controls/Personal protection: OSHA’s permissible exposure limits (PELs), threshold limit values (TLVs), appropriate engineering controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Section 9-Physical and chemical properties: The chemical’s characteristics. Section 10-Stability and reactivity: Chemical stability and possible hazardous reactions. Section 11-Toxicological information: Routes of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, or absorption contact), symptoms, acute and chronic effects, and numerical measures of toxicity. Section 12-Ecological information: How the chemical might affect the environment and the duration of the effect. Section 13-Disposal considerations-describes safe handling of wastes and methods of disposal, including the disposal of any contaminated packaging. Section 14-Transportation information-includes packing, marking, and labeling requirements for hazardous chemical shipments.
