The purpose of these guidelines is to supplement the requirements of regulation 9 of the Occupational Safety and Health (Classification, Packaging and Labeling) Regulations 1997 [P.U. A) 143] regarding a supplier's obligation to provide an up-to-date Chemical Safety Data Sheet (CSDS) for each hazardous chemical supplied. A supplier may, however, choose to interpret the requirement in the regulations differently, but he must first show the Director-General for the Working Environment that his interpretation is on a par with that given in these guidelines. A malignant tumor that can spread to other organs in the body, unlike an incipient tumor that cannot.
For the purposes of the SSDS, a substance for use at work is defined as any natural or artificial substance other than an article, whether in solid or liquid form or in the form of a gas or vapor intended for use in the workplace. Relating to the effects of a chemical on the organs and fluids of the body far after the point of contact after absorption (as opposed to the local effects). Usually refers to functional (systemic) damage but can be developmental in terms of tissue and skeleton in the case of the embryo.
For the purposes of these guidelines, a chemical safety data sheet (CSDS) means an up-to-date handout or information sheet containing relevant information relating to a hazardous chemical or preparation that is critical to establishing a regulation of the safe use of the chemical. or preparations for work. The information that the supplier must provide on the CSDS is specified in Article 9(2) of the Rules and includes the following: a). The chemical product itself, including the trade or common name of the chemical and company identification with supplier details.
The composition of the ingredients that clearly identifies the hazardous chemical for the purpose of performing a hazard assessment. f) Precautions against accidental release g) Handling and storage. h) Exposure controls and personal protection (including possible methods of monitoring exposure in the workplace). k) Toxicological information (including potential routes of entry into the body and the possibility of synergism with other chemicals or hazards arising during work). o) Date of preparation of the chemical safety data sheet.
FORMAT OF CSDS
The regulations also require the supplier to review and revise the CSDS whenever there is new information about a particular hazardous chemical.
CHEMICAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
The contact point provided should direct a caller to someone who can clarify the information or provide further information and/or a product bibliography.

Nota: Pusat hubungan yang dinyatakan mesti menghubungi seseorang secara langsung yang boleh menjelaskan maklumat lanjut dan/atau bibliografi tentang produk/kimia. Bahagian ini mengandungi sebarang maklumat yang tidak dinyatakan dalam bahagian lain yang mungkin disediakan oleh pengilang.
1) Chemical Product And Company Identification
Product Details
Chemical Formula: The symbols of the elements and the number of atoms of each element that make up a. Use: This sub-section should indicate the usual uses of the product and should be given.
Company Identification
If the company telephone is not staffed 24 hours a day, an emergency telephone number including area code must be added.
Contact Point
2) Composition / Information On Ingredient
Percentage: Ingredients should be listed with the ingredient representing the highest percentage first and so on in descending order. It is not possible to set a lower limit for the chemicals included in this list, since a unit at 0.01% can be more than 10 times more toxic than one at 0.1%. Please note that the regulation only requires that the composition of hazardous ingredients be declared.
Exposure limit: Information from Section 9 of Appendix IX could also be included in this subsection to facilitate information retrieval. Data on acute toxicity Data from Section 11 of Appendix XII could also be included in this sub-section. Where the name of a chemical constitutes confidential information, the name of the chemical may be omitted from the CSDS, but in accordance with Article 10 of the Occupational Safety and Health (Classification, Packaging and Labeling) Regulations 1997, the actual chemical name must be disclosed on written request to an occupational health practitioner or to any person using or handling the chemical, provided that the information is used only to protect the safety and health of employees.
The following three examples below show how ingredients should be presented while taking into account concerns about confidentiality of information.
Solubility: when describing solids or powders, solubility in water in grams per liters or parts per million parts of water are included. Boiling point : boiling point and/or melting point and/or at 760 mm Hg must be stated in 0C melting point. Specific gravity: the density of the product compared to water with the density of water equal to one g/cm3.
The manner in which the data was determined, whether by closed or open cup methods, should be indicated. Other information: Other information such as odor threshold, volatility, penetration, viscosity at 40°C should be included.
4) Hazard Identification
5) First Aid Measures
Where no specific antidote is available, the doctor should be advised to contact a poison information centre.
6) Fire Fighting Measures
Information must be provided on the actions to be taken in the event of an accidental release (including leaks and spills) of a chemical. Health and safety measures: remove sources of ignition, provide adequate ventilation, provide suitable personal protective equipment;.
9) Exposure Control And Personal Protection
The exposure limit expresses the highest concentration of a chemical in the air to which almost all adults can be repeatedly exposed without adverse effects. It represents a standard against which the measured time-weighted average concentration over an eight-hour period can be compared. The local permissible exposure limit should be used unless it is not available, where another standard can be quoted.
Any short-term or ceiling limits that the concentration must not be allowed to exceed and any maximum exposure periods must be added to the SSDS and indicated as such. If the list of the EL includes the sheet notation, it must also be included in this section. This subsection should recommend appropriate engineering measures and indicate whether special ventilation requirements are necessary and specify what type e.g. use in a well ventilated area, ensure ventilation is sufficient to maintain air concentrations below EL, local exhaust ventilation required etc.
The information under this heading should be specific about both when protection is needed and the type required. Special types of respirators, etc. Approved face masks” will not be sufficient information, whereas “approved half-face cartridge respirator suitable for organic vapors” might be sufficient. There may be specific requirements for gloves or other protective clothing to prevent skin exposure, so material specifications are required; that is, "impervious gloves" are not sufficient, while "PVC gloves" or "nitrile gloves" could be used.
Similarly, eye protection, if required, should be described as "general use industrial safety glasses" or other specific requirements. Standard* Reference Lead oxide mg/m3 DOSH, Malaysia note* : 8 hour time weighted average exposure unless otherwise stated b.

11) Toxicological Information
Cardiovascular disease, heart disease, liver or kidney disease, central nervous system disease, heavy drinking, heavy smoking. This Part describes the information required to be provided under Regulation 9(2)(m) of the Regulations (subparagraph (m) of paragraph 2.2). Disposal of waste must be in accordance with the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulation 1989 and other guidelines issued by DOE and/or local authorities.
