What document describes the identity of a substance including product information, composition information on ingredients, hazard identification and control and clean-up procedures in cases of accidental spill?

• A. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
• B. Occupational Health Practitioner
• C. Non-Lost Time Accident
• D. Manager

Answer: (A)

The key idea is chemical hazard communication through the safety document that accompanies a substance. The Material Safety Data Sheet, or MSDS (now usually called a Safety Data Sheet, SDS), provides the substance’s identity, product information, and information on its ingredients. It also identifies hazards and lays out control measures and procedures for cleanup in case of an accidental spill. This combination—identity, product and ingredient information, hazard identification, and spill-response guidance—is exactly what the question describes. The other options aren’t documents: an occupational health practitioner is a person, a non-lost-time accident is a type of incident record, and a manager is a role.
