How to read and use the SDS, the foundation of safe chemical handling.
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a document that provides standard information about a chemical's hazards, safe use, storage and emergency measures. It is a fundamental tool for any business working with chemicals.
The SDS consists of 16 standard sections such as composition, hazard classification, first-aid measures, and transport and storage conditions. Read correctly, it significantly reduces workplace risk.
Together with GHS/CLP labeling, the SDS enables operators to use the product safely and select the right personal protective equipment, and it prevents storage incompatibilities.
BEJ provides an up-to-date SDS and technical data sheet for every product supplied; we recommend reviewing these documents before use.
