Knowing the physical and chemical characteristics of the chemicals you anticipate finding during a field activity can help you recognize potential hazards and appropriately protect yourself.

You can find the details on the physical and chemical characteristics by referring to the chemical's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). MSDSs must be readily available in work areas where the hazardous materials are being used. More information about Material Safety Data Sheets is found in the Hazard Communication module.
