Safety Data Sheets

A Safety Data Sheet or SDS (formerly called MSDS) is an informational sheet developed by manufacturers to provide end-users with safety and health information about a chemical product. Federal and state regulations require that UWRF employees have unrestricted access to SDS's for materials such as laboratory research chemicals, cleaning supplies, welding rods--virtually all of the materials that are used on the job by UWRF employees. The efficient management of SDS's is required by law and, from a practical standpoint, is critical to ensuring the safety of students, employees, and others who participate in UWRF programs and use our facilities.
