Safety data sheets are important in helping you, or anyone you supply, to make the workplace
safe and to protect the environment.
More specifically, a safety data sheet contains information to help you make a risk assessment as required by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH).
The safety sheet itself is an assessment. However, it will describe the hazards, helping you access the probability of those hazards (i.e. the risk) arising in the workplace.
