Some Highlights For establishment Code of practice for preparation and use of material safety data sheets (MSDS) This code gives recommendations for the preparation, review, re-issue and application of MSDS. It covers the responsibility of the suppliers and manufacturers of chemical substances and preparations in the compilation and completion of an MSDS, and that of users (employers and employees) to make use of the information in the MSDS to prevent unnecessary exposure to persons in the workplace and in the community. The code does not cover the use of pharmaceutical substances and preparations by medical physicians and veterinarians in the management of the health of a person or an animal, but applies to the production and use of these substances and preparations in an industrial process. (Issued on 2 November 2001 ; Comment closes on 3 January 2002) The purpose of this code is to provide information and guidance for the identification, assessment and control of risks arising from manual handling activities in workplaces and on the planning and implementation of an ergonomics programme for manual handling operations. It is not possible to provide details covering every situation of manual handling but the principles given here may be adapted to apply to a variety of manual handling operations.
