What this covers

Sample questions

A worker splashes a solvent on her arm and wants to know what to do right away. Which safety data sheet section covers this?

  1. Section 6, Accidental release measures
  2. Section 4, First-aid measures
  3. Section 8, Exposure controls and PPE
  4. Section 2, Hazard identification
Show the answer

B. Section 4, First-aid measures

Section 4 describes first-aid measures by route of exposure, along with the most important symptoms. Section 6 is the tempting wrong answer, but it deals with cleaning up spills and leaks, not treating a person.

Reference: 29 CFR 1910.1200, Appendix D

Which section of a safety data sheet lists the recommended respirator, gloves and exposure limits for the product?

  1. Section 11
  2. Section 8
  3. Section 2
  4. Section 5
Show the answer

B. Section 8

Section 8, exposure controls and personal protection, gives exposure limits, engineering controls and recommended PPE. Section 2 identifies the hazards and label elements but does not say what protection to use.

Reference: 29 CFR 1910.1200, Appendix D

Where must safety data sheets be kept?

  1. In a locked office with access granted on written request
  2. At the corporate office, with copies mailed out within 15 days
  3. With the purchasing records for each chemical supplier
  4. Readily accessible to employees in their work area during each shift
Show the answer

D. Readily accessible to employees in their work area during each shift

Employees must be able to get to the safety data sheets for the chemicals in their work area during every shift without barriers. Electronic access is fine as long as it is immediate; a locked office or a mail-out request is a barrier.

Reference: 29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(8)
