Which document includes physical data, chemical name, exposure limits, health hazard data, and special precautions?

• A. Shipping papers
• B. MSDS
• C. Label
• D. Emergency response guide

Answer: (B)

MSDS provides comprehensive information about a chemical, including its identity, physical properties, exposure limits, health hazard data, and the special precautions needed for safe handling. This sheet helps workers understand risks, choose appropriate controls, and know what to do in emergencies (such as required PPE, storage guidelines, spill response, and first aid measures). Shipping papers are for transport details, labels give basic hazard warnings on containers, and the Emergency Response Guide offers initial actions for responders during a release. (Modern practice often uses Safety Data Sheet, but the content remains the same.)
