Rule 122. Collection, Development and Dissemination of Information

(1) The occupier of every factory carrying on a 'hazardous process' shall arrange to obtain or develop information in the form of Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) furnishing adequate information in respect of every hazardous substance or material handled in the manufacture, transportation and storage in the factory. It shall be accessible upon request to a worker for reference. A model MSDS is appended below.

DISCLAIMER: The Government makes no warranties expressed or implied in respect of the adequacy of this document for any particular purpose and is prescribed for the purpose of meeting the minimum requirement in compiling safety data of a chemical. 2) The occupier while obtaining or developing a Material Safety Data Sheet in respect of a hazardous substance shall ensure that the information recorded accurately reflects the scientific evidence used in making the hazard determination. If he becomes newly aware of any significant information regarding the hazards of a substance, or ways to protect against the hazards, this new information shall be added to the Material Safety Data Sheet as soon as practicable. 3) Labelling: Every container of a hazardous substance shall be clearly labeled or marked to identify:

(a) The contents of the container

(b) The name and address of the manufacturer or importer of the hazardous substances;

(c) The physical and health hazards; and

(d) There commended personal protective equipment needed to work safety with the hazardous substance.
