Answer: (A)

MSDS sheets are chemical reference sources found in industrial settings. They provide comprehensive information about a chemical, including its identity, hazards (health, flammability, reactivity), required exposure controls and PPE, safe handling and storage, first aid measures, and procedures for spills or disposal. They also list emergency contact information and supplier details. Workers use MSDS (often now called Safety Data Sheets under the Globally Harmonized System) to understand risks and plan safe handling and emergency responses.
