This includes routes of exposure, related symptoms, acute and chronic effects, and numerical measures of toxicity. Section 11 – Toxicological information identifies toxicological and health effects information or indicates that such data are not available. This section is broken into 3 parts: reactivity, chemical stability, and other. Section 10 – Stability and reactivity describes the reactivity hazards of the chemical and the chemical stability information. Section 9 – Physical and chemical properties identifies physical and chemical properties associated with the substance or mixture. Section 8 – Exposure controls/personal protection indicates the exposure limits, engineering controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE) measures that can be used to minimize worker exposure. Section 7 – Handling and storage provides guidance on the safe handling practices and conditions for safe storage of chemicals, including incompatibilities. It may also include recommendations distinguishing between responses for large and small spills where the spill volume has a significant impact on the hazard. Section 6 – Accidental release measures provides recommendations on the appropriate response to spills, leaks, or releases, including containment and cleanup practices to prevent or minimize exposure to people, properties, or the environment. Section 5 – Fire-fighting measures lists recommendations for fighting a fire caused by the chemical, including suitable extinguishing techniques, equipment, and chemical hazards from fire. Section 4 – First-aid measures describes the initial care that should be given by untrained responders to an individual who has been exposed to the chemical. This section includes information on substances, mixtures, and all chemicals where a trade secret is claimed. Section 3 – Composition/information on ingredients identifies the ingredient(s) contained in the product indicated on the SDS, including impurities and stabilizing additives. Section 2 – Hazard(s) identification includes the hazards of the chemical and the appropriate warning information associated with those hazards. It also provides the essential contact information of the supplier. Section 1 – Identification identifies the chemical on the SDS as well as the recommended uses. The federal Hazard Communication Standard, revised in 2012, now requires chemical manufacturers, distributors, and importers to provide new Safety Data Sheets in a uniform format that includes the section numbers, headings, and associated information below.
