The ANSI Material Safety Data Sheet
Course Length: 30 - 45 minutes
High-impact training
covering the essentials of the ANSI Material Safety Data Sheet.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), working
with the Chemical Manufacturer's Association (CMA), has developed the first
standard format for Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). While this new MSDS
format is not required under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, OSHA is
encouraging its use.
The ANSI Material
Safety Data Sheet has been specifically created to educate employees about
the ANSI MSDS format.
This training covers the following topics:
- The
importance of the MSDS
- The
MSDS's role in the Hazard Communication Standard
- Advantages
of the ANSI format
- Four
basic questions the ANSI MSDS is designed to answer:
- What
is the material, and what are its hazards?
- What
should I do if a problem occurs?
- What
precautions should I take when working with this material?
- Is
there anything else I should know about this substance?
- Review
of the sections in the ANSI Material Safety Data Sheet
- And
more!
Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video,
text, and colorful graphics, The ANSI
Material Safety Data Sheet provides cost-effective, easy-to-use training.
It's divided into topic-based lessons so information is easily understood ...
and retained.
