What information does a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provide that may not be found on a product label?

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides comprehensive health and safety information about a chemical product, which typically includes detailed data on hazards, safe handling practices, first-aid measures, personal protective equipment (PPE) recommendations, and environmental impact considerations. This information goes beyond what is usually summarized on a product label, allowing users to understand the risks associated with the product and how to manage them effectively.

While product labels provide essential information such as usage instructions, potential hazards, and manufacturer details, they may not include the extensive background on emergency procedures and long-term exposure risks that an SDS covers. This detailed information is crucial for professionals in pest control and related fields who may be handling chemicals regularly, ensuring they can make informed decisions regarding safety and compliance.
