How do material safety data sheets help in occupational hygiene?

  1. By providing financial cost of materials

  2. By listing the composition of commercial products and their hazards

  3. By giving instructions on how to use machinery

  4. By documenting employee performance

The correct answer is: By listing the composition of commercial products and their hazards

Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are a critical part of workplace safety and health. They provide essential information about the hazards of materials, such as chemicals, used in the workplace. This helps to identify and control potential risks, and reduce incidents and injuries. Option A is incorrect because MSDS does not list the financial cost of materials, which is a different type of document. Option C is incorrect because MSDS does not provide instructions on how to use machinery. Option D is incorrect because MSDS does not document employee performance, which is the task of performance evaluations. Option B is the correct answer because MSDS gives detailed information about the composition and hazards of commercial products, which can guide occupational hygiene practices and prevent potential harm to workers.
