Many Associates work with or come into contact with chemical products in order to do our jobs. You have a right to know the hazards involved with these products and how to protect yourself. The best source of information is the Materials Safety Data Sheet or MSDS. The MSDS contain product, safety, hazard, first aid and other information. You can access MSDS information three ways:
- 3E’s online database accessible through the Nemours Intranet site
- By phone at (800)451-8346
- By contacting the Logistics Center in the event that computers are down or inaccessible.
