Explanation
An MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), now called SDS (Safety Data Sheet) under GHS standards, provides critical information about hazardous chemicals including safe handling procedures, health hazards, first aid measures, and proper disposal. It must be consulted whenever working with chemical substances - such as a new cleaning solution - to understand risks and proper usage. The other scenarios (broken desk corner, shattered window, spilled soda) involve physical hazards or non-hazardous substances that do not require chemical safety documentation.
