1351   The ANSI MSDS (DVD)

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), working with the Chemical Manufacturer's Association (CMA), has developed the first standard format for Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). While this new MSDS format is not required under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, OSHA is encouraging its use. Perhaps as important, most of the large chemical manufacturers in the United States appear to be adopting this MSDS format.

This video has been specifically created to educate employees about the ANSI MSDS format.

The key training points in this video include:

• The importance of the MSDS.
• The role of the MSDS in the Hazard Communication Standard.
• Advantages of the ANSI format.
• The four basic questions the ANSI MSDS is designed to answer.

Support materials to enhance learning include a Facilitator Guide, answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ), and a quiz for documentation.
