What do Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) provide to employees?

  1. Information on financial risks associated with materials

  2. Instructions on how to dispose of obsolete equipment

  3. Information about potentially hazardous materials and safety measures

  4. Guidelines for maintaining workplace cleanliness

The correct answer is: Information about potentially hazardous materials and safety measures

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are essential documents that provide comprehensive information about potentially hazardous materials used in the workplace. They are designed to ensure that employees are informed about the chemicals they may be exposed to and the necessary safety measures to mitigate risks. MSDSs typically include details such as the identity of the chemical, potential hazards, safe handling practices, emergency procedures, and first aid measures. This information empowers employees to work more safely, understand the risks they might encounter, and respond appropriately in case of incidents involving those materials. While the other options touch on important aspects of workplace safety and operational guidelines, they do not specifically encompass the primary purpose of MSDSs. For instance, information on financial risks, disposal instructions for equipment, and cleanliness guidelines serve different aspects of facility management and risk assessment, but they do not provide the critical, safety-focused information that MSDSs are specifically intended to deliver.
