1. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

2. To get familiar with Material Safety Data Sheets
Session Objectives
To get familiar with Material
Safety Data Sheets
To know how to properly find
and use the MSDS

3. MSDS: Material Safety Data Sheet
It requires for each chemical.
It requires to operators, officers and chemist review.
It must be accessible for everyone in the labs, shop floor, Stores, etc.

4. MSDS Location
MSDS are required to be easily accessible by you at all times.
Don’t necessarily have to be located in each lab (although it is a good idea)
Ask your supervisor where they are located in your area.

5. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Information on Material Safety Data Sheet is organized in 16 Section as follows.
Material Identity

7. The MSDS includes following details
Material Identity
Name
Synonyms
Formula
UN No.
CAS No. ( Chemical Abstracts Service registry No.) - Unique number assigned to a specific chemical by the American Chemical Society and indexed in Chemical Abstracts published by Chemical Abstracts Service in the US. These nos. are used widely for accurate identification of materials and quick retrieval of their chemical and Safety information.
Chemical Classification

8. Composition / information on Ingredient
Ingredients

9. Physical & Chemical Data
Appearance

Boiling Point
Melting Point
Physical State
Vapour Pressure
Vapour Density
Specific Gravity

10. Fire and Explosion Data
Flash Point - The lowest temperature at which the vapor above the liquid will ignite if an ignition source is present.
Auto Ignition Temperature - The minimum temperature required to initiate or cause self-sustained combustion which is independent of a spark or flame source.
Flammability
Lower/ Upper Explosive Limit

11. Flammability
Limits of flammability--Each flammable gas and liquid (in the form of a vapor) has two limits which define the range of concentrations in mixtures with air that will propagate flame and explode.
•• LEL or Lower Explosive limit--The percent by volume
concentration below which the mixture is too less to burn.
•• UEL or Upper Explosive limit-- The percent by volume
concentration above which the mixture is too rich to burn.
•• The flammable range consists of all the concentrations between these two limits.

12. Stability and Reactivity
Chemical Stability
Chemical Compatibility
Hazardous Reaction Products
Reactivity

13. Health Hazard Data / Toxicological Information
Routes of entry
Effects of exposure
TLV ( Threshold Limit Value) -The concentration of an airborne substance to which an average person can be repeatedly exposed without adverse effects for 8 Hrs..
STEL( Short Term Exposure Limit) – It is expressed as airborne concentration of substances average over a period of fifteen minutes. Workers should not be exposed at the STEL concentration continuously for longer than fifteen minutes, or for more than four such periods per working day. One hour gap must be there between two exposures.
IDLH ( Immediately Danger to Life/ Health) - Air concentration at this level can cause death very quickly; can be caused by toxic chemicals, insufficient oxygen, or both.

14. Definition: LD50
LD50 (Lethal Dose50) is the amount of a substance that, when administered by a defined route of entry (e.g. oral or dermal) over a specified period of time, is expected to cause the death of 50 per cent of a defined animal population.

15. Definition: LC50
LC50 (Lethal Concentration50) is the amount of a substance in air that, when given by inhalation over a specified period of time, is expected to cause the death in 50 per cent of a defined animal population.

16. First Aid Measures
Eyes
Skin exposure
Inhalation
Ingestion

17. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media
Special Fire Fighting Procedures

18. Accidental Release Procedure
Spill or leak procedures

19. When a Spill Strikes
) Assess the risk
Minor Spill, handled by personnel within lab or department. Minor spills should be cleaned-up at the time of the spill.
Major Spill, isolate area. Major spills
may require special treatment, equipment or emergency assistance.

20. When a Spill Strikes Consult MSDS and other literature sources
Select personal protective equipment (PPE) such as rubber gloves and goggles.
Consult MSDS and other literature sources
Limit the spill area by blocking, diverting, or confining spill
Use absorbents, drain plugs, dikes.
Stop the Source if possible.
Decontaminate site, personnel, & equipment by removing or neutralizing the hazardous materials

21. Handling & Storage Minimum / Maximum storage temperature Handling
Ventilation
Storage

22. Exposure Control and Personal Protection

31. Packing Groups Packing Group LD 50 Value
Three categories of packaging
The Packing Group (PG) is based on the hazard(s) of the product
LD 50 Value
Packing Group I - Great danger ( <= 5)
Packing Group II - Moderate danger (<= 50)
Packing Group III - Mild danger (<=200)
