Material Safety Data Sheets
Copies of material safety data sheets (MSDS), for all chemicals to be used on location, will
be stored in the field laboratory. These sheets should be referenced during safety meetings
to highlight the hazards associated with the chemicals being used on location. The sheets
will also give guidance on the correct PPE to be worn and on first-aid treatments for direct
contact with or ingestion of the chemicals. In the event of an emergency on location, these
sheets should be made available to the fire and rescue services together with an up-to-date
inventory of the chemicals onsite.
