title: The material safety data sheet: a guide to chemical safety in the OR.
abstract: 1. Workers can call OSHA to report violations of the "right to know" standard. If OSHA finds violations, it can issue warnings, levy a fine, or shut down a facility until corrections are made. 2. The Material Safety Data Sheet was developed for use by the chemical industry and is written more for users of large quantities of chemicals, not small users such as OR nurses. 3. Every MSDS contains nine sections. There is no standardization of MSDSs among suppliers and the sections may be in different sequences depending on the source.
