CAUTION AVOID EXPOSURE TO POTENTIALLY HARMFUL MATERIALS
By law, producers and suppliers of chemical compounds are required to provide their
customers with the most current health and safety information in the form of Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs). The MSDSs describe the chemicals and must be freely
available to lab personnel to examine at any time. MSDSs summarize information on the
hazard and toxicity of specific chemical compounds. MSDSs also provide information on
the proper handling of compounds, first aid for accidental exposure, and procedures for
the remedy of spills or leaks.
Read the MSDS for each chemical you use. Store and handle all chemicals in accordance
with standard safety procedures. Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when you
use solvents or corrosives. Also, contain waste streams, use proper ventilation, and dispose
of all laboratory reagents according to the directions in the MSDS.
