Dear All,
I am attaching a presentation on Chemical Safety using MSDS. It will be helpful for all chemical-handling employees if you provide thorough training for a better understanding. You can also add or modify with examples of chemicals used at your site. MSDS should be reviewed and updated biannually. Please provide your comments.

Dear All,
What is the difference between STEL and TWA? And application of the same in industrial safety.
Let me explain this by using a real-life example.
The present problem in Mumbai about commuting by road is traffic jam. Particularly at signal points, a lot of automobile emission takes place, leading to increased pollutants in the atmosphere.
If we consider this as a workplace and the working of automobile drivers and traffic police as working people, then STEL would be applicable to drivers. However, for police, the TWA would be applicable.
The drivers would pass the polluted area within less time, but the traffic police would be there for all duty hours.
In most of the plating industries I have seen, the jobs are assembled on fixtures. Assembly is done on a workstation which has a U-type layout or in multiple rows layouts adopting a single-piece flow concept. The assembly workstation is at the center or at any one side of the shop. The chemical tanks have fumes collection systems as well as scrubbers.
The operator has to go to the tanks for loading and unloading and has to come back to the assembly station for assembly/disassembly.
The workplace monitoring at the assembly station has to be done for TWA, where the operator is working most of the time.
The workplace monitoring at the breathing height of the operator is to be done for STEL. As the operator shall go to the tank only for loading and unloading, the time of which is less than 10 minutes.
The most ideal situation is to limit the concentration of pollutants even less than TWA limits.
Factories Act Second Schedule has defined different values for the above two.
Invite all of you for your views on this matter.

Dear Mr. Y. Job Cornelius,
MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheet. If any chemicals are used in a company, it is the responsibility of management to make the MSDS available. The physical and chemical properties are given in this document. The specific information on precautions to be taken for health and safety during transportation, storage, use, and disposal are provided in the MSDS. Management is supposed to provide all safety controls as defined in the MSDS, and operators have to follow all precautions and use PPEs.
Every chemical has a unique identification number known as the CAS number (Chemical Abstract Service). If you know the CAS number of a chemical, you can easily access the MSDS online. Alternatively, you can search the SIRI Index to find the MSDS of the desired chemical. It is essential to convert the safety instructions into the local language and communicate the hazards to the workers.
If you need any further information, please revert back.
Thanks and Regards,

Dear Sudhir,
Very well explained. Keep up the good work.
Dear Team,
It is just an information. Actually, I was talking to Ex-CIF, Delhi a few days back and asked something about MSDS. And as I said "MSDS," the Ex-CIF, Mr. Sharma, told me that it is no longer MSDS. It has been replaced by world SDS, i.e., Safety Data Sheet only. Please get it confirmed.

Dear Inderjeet & Raghu,
Subsequent to the discussion on MSDS or SDS, I had searched the net and found the following link which supports what Inderjeet mentioned:
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Only one thing to ensure is whether it is applicable in our country as well. The mentioned website is from Australia.

Dear Dipil,
You and Mr. Inder are both right, but it has not yet been announced by OSHA. If I receive any message regarding this topic, I will let our members know immediately.
I hope it's only applicable in Australia. Will see then.

Dear Dipil,
Thanks for the link. Please refer to the contents of MSDS and SDS; the contents are the same. Maybe in Australia, they are calling it SDS. The important thing is to study and communicate hazards, arrange systems as per MSDS/SDS, and dispose of materials as per the given instructions. However, the document "PREPARATION OF SAFETY DATA SHEETS FOR HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS - CODE OF PRACTICE" is good. I shall comment after I read it.
Thanks again.
