Safety Data Sheets Annex IIA Guide to
Compilation
  • James Ring
  • Reach Aid

2
Overview
  • Objectives
  • Who uses SDS
  • Information on the sheet
  • Problems
  • Suggestions

3
Who uses SDS
  • Emergency response crews
  • Storage personnel
  • Lab personnel
  • Plant personnel
  • Trainers

4
Objectives
  • Info on material for safe usage
  • Creating safe working conditions
  • Info for risk assessment to be carried out
  • Emergency actions
  • Instructions to employees
  • Dangerous substance inventory

5
Information on Sheet
  • Identification of the substance/company
  • Uses
  • Person who puts substance on the market
  • Telephone number
  • Hazards Identification
  • Brief Hazards to Man and the Environment
  • Dangerous/non dangerous
  • Other hazards cross sensitisation, dustiness
    etc.

6
Information on Sheet
  • Composition/ Information on Ingredients
  • Allow easy identification of hazards
  • Dangerous
  • Conc.
  • Non dangerous
  • Conc.
  • If gt1w non gaseous
  • If gt 0.2v gaseous
  • Classification including symbol and R phrases
  • Name and registration number
  • If confidential must describe chemical nature

7
Information on Sheet
  • First Aid Measures
  • Describe the measures/ medical attention
  • Brief and easy to understand/ delayed effects
  • Routes of Exposure skin, inhalation
  • Professional assistance
  • Immediate treatment in the work place
  • Fire Fighting Measures
  • Suitable/ not suitable extinguishing media
  • Exposure hazards combustion gases
  • Protective equipment

8
Information on Sheet
  • Accidental Release Measures
  • Personal precautions
  • Removal of ignition sources, ventilation, dust
    control
  • Environmental precautions
  • Drains, ground water, soil, neighbourhood alert
  • Cleaning up
  • Absorbent material, reduction of gases with
    water, dilution
  • Also need to state never use, neutralise
    with..

9
Information on Sheet
  • Handling and Storage
  • Precautions for safe handling
  • Containment, ventilation, fire/dust prevention,
    env. protection
  • Precautions for safe storage
  • Design of storage room, incompatible materials,
    temp and humidity, anti-static measures

10
Information on Sheet
  • Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection
  • Exposure limit values
  • Include occupational/ biological limit values
  • Exposure controls
  • Full range of specific risk management measures
    to minimise worker and environment exposure
  • Occupational exposure controls
  • Work processes, adequate equipment, protective
    measures at source,
  • personal protection equipment respiratory,
    hand, eye, skin
  • Environmental exposure controls
  • Control of environmental exposure

11
Information on Sheet
  • Physical and Chemical Properties
  • General information
  • Appearance, physical state, odour
  • HSE Information
  • pH, boiling point, flammability, explosive
    properties, solubility, relative density,
    viscosity, evaporation rate
  • Other Information
  • Other important parameters miscibility, fat
    solubility, conductivity

12
Information on Sheet
  • Stability and Reactivity
  • Conditions to avoid
  • Temp, light, pressure
  • Materials to avoid
  • Water, acid/bases, oxidising agents
  • Hazardous decomposition products
  • Need for stabilisers, exothermic reactions,
    change of physical appearance, on contact with
    water, degradation to unstable products.

13
Information on Sheet
  • Toxicological Information
  • Dangerous to health effects
  • Delayed, immediate and chronic effects
  • Routes of exposure
  • Give info on
  • CMR, repeated dose toxicity, sensitisation, acute
    effects, metabolism and distribution.
  • Must be in line with Chemical Safety Report

14
Information on Sheet
  • Ecological Information
  • Ecotoxicity
  • Acute and chronic for fish, crustaceans, algae.
  • Problems with treatment plants micro-organisms
  • Mobility
  • potential to transport to groundwater or far
    from source
  • Persistence and degradability
  • Half lives quoted where applicable
  • Bioaccumulative Potential
  • Octanol-water coefficent
  • PBT assesment
  • Other adverse effects

15
Information on Sheet
  • Disposal Considerations
  • If disposal presents a danger safe handling
    measures will be given
  • Appropriate disposal measures
  • Transport Information
  • Special precautions needed
  • Info on transport classification
  • UN number, class, proper shipping name, packing
    group, marine pollutant, other info.

16
Information on Sheet
  • Regulatory Information
  • CSR been carried out
  • HSE info on the label
  • Other Information
  • R- phrases
  • Training advise
  • Restrictions on use
  • Key data used to compile SDS

17
Problems with SDS
  • Problem with R and S phrases
  • Physico/chemical data
  • Repetition
  • Complicated
  • Poor lay out
  • Too much text

18
Suggestions
  • Training in use of SDS
  • Non technical descriptions
  • Simplicity of language
  • Guidelines for compilation
