Re: ECO for enthusiasts

When reading an MSDS sheet read teh whole thing, under every category you will fiind signs that the product is safe or not(even the MSDS sheet for water would contain warnings, so don't be alarmist). A carefull read of any MSDS sheet will either raise some flags or not, if a mental flag is raised in the reading then consider your alternatives, if after reading you would let you grandchildren handle the product then... you get the idea. If a company can't provide MSDS info then you need to consider something else, the product may be safe, or very bad, but without the info you will never know

Here is a web guide on reading MSDS sheets, How to Read a Material Safety Data Sheet | CMHC while as interesting as reading your roll of toilet paper for most, it should be required for everyone. Knowing what we are working with is important, and aquiring a basic knowledge of the MSDS sheet may someday save your life. For professional product users, you must at all times have the MSDS sheets at you and your employees disposition, preferably in a weel identified location, and for every product you have in your building or inside your mobile unit. We have a place that is well identified(beside a fire extinguisher) and every MSDS sheet is in the file, plus on the outside of the holder the emergency contact numbers for all products is identified.


Here is a link to a product MSDS sheet that is quite safe, for you and the environment
