Can you find MSDS sheets online?

You can access material safety data sheets online for free through the Environment, Health and Safety Online website, which links directly to manufacturer databases. To find a specific MSDS, select the manufacturer, and then type the name or product number of the material in the database search box.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires manufacturers and importers of a hazardous material to create an MSDS sheet that provides information such as the properties of the chemical, its safe handling and storage, and what first aid measures to implement in case of an accident. MSDS sheets help create a safer workplace environment, explains OSHA.
