What type of information is essential to include on an SDS?

Legal history of the chemicals
Health hazards associated with chemicals
Expense analysis of the chemicals
Equipment needed for chemical handling

The correct answer is: Health hazards associated with chemicals

Health hazards associated with chemicals are a crucial component of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). An SDS is designed to provide comprehensive information about a substance's properties, including potential hazards, safe handling guidelines, and emergency measures in case of an incident. Understanding health hazards is essential for anyone who might be exposed to the chemicals, whether in workplaces, during transportation, or at storage facilities. This information helps workers and emergency responders recognize potential risks and implement appropriate protective measures to minimize exposure and ensure safety. Having detailed knowledge of health hazards allows for informed decision-making related to personal protective equipment (PPE) and other safety protocols. Other options, while potentially relevant in some contexts, do not align with the primary purpose of an SDS. Legal history, expense analysis, and equipment needed for chemical handling are not standard inclusions in an SDS and do not contribute directly to understanding the immediate dangers posed by a chemical or how to respond appropriately in case of exposure.
