Which HazCom item provides the standard documentation of hazards and protective measures?

• A. Training & Info
• B. SDS
• C. Labeling & Warnings
• D. List of Chemicals

Answer: (B)

Safety Data Sheets provide the standard documentation of hazards and protective measures for chemicals. They present detailed hazard classifications, health effects, routes of exposure, and the recommended protective actions—such as required PPE, engineering controls, safe handling and storage practices, and ventilation. They also cover first aid, spill response, and disposal guidance, organized in a consistent, often 16-section format under GHS, so workers and employers have a reliable, uniform reference for every chemical.

Training and information describes what workers should know, but it isn’t the primary source of hazard data. Labeling and warnings convey basic hazard cues on containers, not the full, structured hazard and protection details. A list of chemicals is simply an inventory and does not provide the hazards or protective measures.
