What does that mean exactly?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s have a look at a few examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Section 2 \u2013 Hazards Identification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know this is where we will find the classification of the product. For purpose of my example(s), let give this product the following classification:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corrosive to Metals, Category 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin Corrosion\/Irritation, Category 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eye Irritation, Category 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we know the product is Corrosive to Metals. This means that when it touches a metal, generally it will corrode it, forming toxic gases. Skin Corrosion will cause severe burns. Eye Damage will cause severe burns and possible permanent damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that as we go forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Moving onto Section 4 \u2013 First Aid Measures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this section, we need to think about the fact that our product causes chemical burns. In our response statements, we need to indicate \u201cImmediate medical attention\u201d using the same urgency as the phrases used in the Section 2 precautionary phrases. In the Acute and Chronic area, we need to repeat the fact that the product causes chemical burns to the skin and eyes. Finally, in the Immediate medical attention section, we need to advise responders that again, Immediate medical attention is necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Section 5 &#8211; Fire Fighting Measures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this section, we will mirror some of the physical hazard classifications. In our example, Corrosive to Metals, we know that contact with metals will give off toxic gases, we need to advise the emergency responders in a few sections. Also, it is very likely that acids\/bases and water will react. We need to ensure that responders know NOT to use water to stop the fire, and provide other safe extinguishing methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Section 7 \u2013 Handling and Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this section we want to ensure we are using the same precautionary phrases as Section 2. In Handling, phrases like Do not breathe mist, Wash thoroughly after handling, Wear protective gloves\/clothing and Eye\/face protection and Keep only in original container. In Storage, we want to mention Store in corrosion-resistant packaging. All phrases that were previously used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Section 10 \u2013 Stability and Reactivity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this section we will want to mention that the product is Corrosive to Metals, and contact with metals will give off toxic gases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, Section 11 \u2013 Toxicological Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This section is all about the health hazards, Skin Corrosion and Eye Damage. Ensure you are repeating the phrases from the hazard statements, but also add as much symptomatic information as possible, very similar to Section 4.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although I have not discussed all of the sections, I think you have a good understanding of what is required. Consistency is one of the big things that inspectors will look for on an SDS. Inconsistency will certainly draw a \u201cred-flag\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a look at your SDS. Is it consistent? If not, give us a call, we would be happy to prepare it for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/newsletter-signup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay up to date and sign up for our newsletter!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We have all the products, services and training you need to ensure your staff is properly trained and informed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/services\/sds-services\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-203460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/sds_binder.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/sds_binder.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/sds_binder-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/sds_binder-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/sds_binder-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/services\/sds-services\/\">Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Services<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/signs\/personal-protection\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-209574 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ICC_Signs_Protection-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/signs\/personal-protection\/\">Personal Protection (Safety) Signs<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/posters-and-charts\/ghs-workplace\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-209602 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ICC_Posters_GHSWorkplace-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/posters-and-charts\/ghs-workplace\/\">GHS (Workplace) Posters &amp; Charts<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a recent training course I attended, it was confirmed what I always try to practice \u2013 having each section&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12549,"featured_media":859696,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5091,5081,5080,5072,4870,4037,2402],"tags":[2636,3003,2648,2362,2574,2531,2525,2502,2443,2429,2364],"class_list":["post-859695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sds-workplace","category-whmis","category-osha","category-workplace-safety","category-osha-whmis-clp","category-compliance-training","category-safety-2","tag-workplace-safety","tag-whmis","tag-hazcom","tag-dangerous-goods","tag-hazardous-materials","tag-osha","tag-sds","tag-ghs","tag-safety","tag-regulations","tag-hazmat"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Consistency on the Safety Data Sheet | ICC Compliance Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn about the importance of consistency on the Safety Data Sheets.
