Professional Safety Data Sheets

SDS are documents that provide critical information about hazardous chemicals. For example, they include information on:

• the chemical’s identity and ingredients
• health and physical hazards
• safe handling and storage procedures
• emergency procedures
• disposal considerations.

Businesses should use SDS when they assess the risks of hazardous chemicals in the workplace.

In Australia, products containing hazardous chemicals must have an SDS in accordance with the model Code of Practice for the Preparation of Safety Data Sheets for Hazardous Chemicals.  

Businesses must keep copies of SDS for chemicals they use and they must be readily accessible for all workers involved in using, handling or storing the chemical at the workplace, emergency service workers, and anyone else who may be exposed to the chemical.

Non-hazardous chemicals do not require SDS.

You can check the definition of a hazardous chemical in the Guidance on the Classification of Hazardous Chemicals under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations.
