Safety Data Sheets And You

Safety Data Sheets Include Important Information About Your Products

CDK Stone are committed to ensuring our industry stays safe. As part of our ongoing efforts to educate and inform the industry, CDK Stone are encouraging our customers to stay up to date with the latest SDS for each product they use.

WHAT IS AN SDS?

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a document that provides detailed information about a potentially hazardous product, including:

• The identity of the chemical product and its ingredients,
• The hazards of the chemical including health hazards, physical hazards and environmental hazards,
• Physical properties of the chemical, like boiling point, flash point and incompatibilities with other chemicals,
• Workplace exposure standards for airborne contaminants,
• Safe handling and storage procedures for the chemical,
• What to do in the event of an emergency or spill,
• First aid information, and
• Transport information.

WHY SHOULD I READ THE SDS?

The SDS is a key information resource for workers and persons conducting a business or undertaking in managing the risks of a hazardous chemical in a workplace.  It is important that workers read the SDS carefully and understand its contents before working with a hazardous chemical so that it can be safely stored, handled or used in the workplace.
Not all information about the hazards of a chemical or instructions for safe storage, handling and use may be provided on labels.  In most cases, the SDS will contain much more information about a hazardous chemical than appears on the label.
The SDS can be used to assist in assessing specific risks associated with a chemical and in training workers on how to use a chemical safely
To assist you with complying with Australian Work Health and Safety laws, we encourage our customers to read through the SDS’s for the products you use and take the necessary precautions.
