“Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are sometimes referred to as safety data sheet (SDS) or product safety data sheet (PSDS) and they are an important component of product stewardship and workplace safety and health.

The MSDS are intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner, and include information such as physical data (boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment and spill-handling procedures.

At JCCC, Gary Cook, manager, housekeeping and custodial services, has developed an online library of MSDS. At this link you may enter into the search box most any related search word to help you search the MSDS database. To find the specific MSDS you are looking for you will need to know the manufacturer.

If you have questions regarding the MSDS database or to add or delete an MSDS from the database, please contact Cook.”
