Almost every hazardous chemical will require Safety data sheets (SDS). SDS have important safety information about hazardous chemicals that can help keep your workers safe.
If you supply, use or store hazardous chemicals, you must keep copies of the SDS in your workplace. If you manufacture or import chemicals, you are responsible for making a correct SDS for each hazardous chemical.
Enter a chemical's information to determine its hazards. Information may not be available for all chemicals.
SWA is not a regulator and cannot advise you about WHS issues in the workplace. If you need help please contact your state or territory work health and safety authority.
