SafetyManager's
"The ANSI Material Safety Data Sheet" Safety Meeting Kit™
has been specifically created to educate employees about
the ANSI MSDS format. 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. Perhaps as important,
most of the large chemical manufacturers in the United
States appear to be adopting this MSDS format.
The
Posters in the Kit remind employees that ANSI MSDSs contain
important information that can help them work safely with
potentially hazardous chemicals.
Topics
covered in this kit include:
- 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.
This
kit contains:
- One
video/DVD.
- 30
booklets and 5 posters.

to use leader's guide.

scheduling & attendance form.

quiz.
