Hazardous Chemicals and Waste [2 of 6]

Before you start working with an unfamiliar chemical product, read the label - it will summarize potential hazards. You should also look up the Material Safety Data Sheet, (which is often called an MSDS). An MSDS will give you more detailed safety information about the chemical product than you will find written on the label.

If you have not worked with a chemical product in class before, make sure it is OK with your teacher.
