8.1 Where can I find Material Safety Data Sheets? (Chemical Safety)
Manufacturers are required by OSHA to provide MSDSs for the chemicals they
produce, but most include liability disclaimers. For MSDSs obtained from
online sources, the user must be sure the MSDS meets his/her needs. As with
most information obtained from the Internet, use at your own risk!. If you
don't know how to interpret the data, find an expert to explain the
significance of the information presented. Because the number of WWW sites
with MSDS are changing all the time, it is often preferable to use a WWW
search engine to find the latest sources of data sheets.
