What information does a Safety Data Sheet provide?

• A. To provide hazard information and safe handling procedures
• B. To list supplier contact information
• C. To provide warranty details
• D. To order replacement supplies

Answer: (A)

The main thing an SDS provides is hazard information and safe handling procedures. It communicates the dangers of a chemical, the conditions to avoid, and the protective measures and steps to take to use, store, and dispose of it safely. It also includes practical guidance like first-aid measures, spill response, and the required personal protective equipment, helping workers assess risk and set up proper controls. While contact details or supplier information might appear in an SDS, the primary purpose remains to inform about hazards and how to handle the material safely, not to cover warranties or how to order replacements.
