  1. MSDS Take Cornell Notes over the information.

  2. MSDS Basics MSDS = Material Safety Data Sheet It provides detailed information about a specific hazardous material such as how to store it or first aid procedures

  3. Chemical Label -- NFPA (US National Fire Protection Association)symbol. Each color represents a different type of hazard • EXAMPLE • Blue = Health hazard • Red = Fire hazard • Yellow = Reactivity hazard • White = Special hazard

  4. Chemical LabelNFPA symbol The numbers • NFPA also uses a numbering system. On every NFPA label, there should be a number from zero to four inside the blue, red and yellow areas. The numbers indicate the degree of a particular hazard. 0 = minimal hazard 1 = slight hazard 2 = moderate hazard 3 = serious hazard 4 = severe hazard

  5. The Blue Section - Health Risks 4 Severe health risk if substance is not handled safely. Substance could cause death or irreversible injury. 3 Could cause serious temporary/ irreversible injury. 2 Could cause temporary incapacitation. 1 Could cause irritation. 0 No health hazard. The Red Section - Fire Risks 4 Flammable vapor or gas which burns readily 3 Flammable liquid or solid which can be readily ignited 2 Must be heated for ignition 1 Must be preheated before ignition can occur 0 No fire hazard. The Yellow Section - Reactivity Hazards 4 Readily capable of detonation / explosive reaction 3 May detonate when exposed to heat /ignition source 2 Readily capable of non-explosive reaction. 1 May become unstable at high temperatures. 0 Is stable. The White Section - Special Hazards OX Oxidizer ACIDAcid ALK Alkali COR Corrosive Use no water Radioactive

  6. The Red Section - Fire Risks 4 Flammable vapor or gas which burns readily 3 Flammable liquid or solid which can be readily ignited 2 Must be heated for ignition 1 Must be preheated before ignition can occur 0 No fire hazard.

  7. Understanding Chemical Hazard Labels and MSDS • OBJECTIVE: To read and interpret chemical hazard labels and MSDS. • MATERIALS: How to read a Chemical Label • MSDS - Acetone • PROCEDURE: Use the documents listed above to answer the following questions. • 1. Interpret colors on a chemical hazard label. • The following colors on a chemical label alert a user regarding what hazards? • a. red • b. yellow • c. blue • d. White • 2. Interpret numbers on a chemical hazard label. • a. A number ____ is the most serious, and a number ____ is the least serious. • b. What does the number four on a red background indicate to the user? • c. What does the number zero on a yellow background mean? • 3. Draw the NFPA diamond and fill in the appropriate NFPA hazard coding colors and numbers. • 4. What does MSDS stand for? • 5. What information do the chemical hazard label and MSDS have in common? • 6. Why should an individual working with chemicals understand the hazard coding system • on a chemical label? • 7. What additional information provided on an MSDS might be of use to an individual • working with chemicals?
