Safety Data Sheets
By law schools are required to provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for every chemical used or stored in their buildings. SDSs should be readily accessible to anyone using a chemical. You’ll find just about everything you could possibly want to know about the safe handling of a potentially hazardous chemical in an SDS, formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

Webster CSD has purchased an online safety data sheet search service to help us comply with state and federal regulations regarding SDS. Follow this link to get to the search page. Please feel free to add this website to your internet favorites so you can access this site whenever you need it.
