SDS/MSDS provide key information about a product. Which items are typically included?

• A. Ingredients, hazards, combustion levels, and storage.
• B. Product color and fragrance only.
• C. Price and vendor contact only.
• D. Marketing claims only.

Answer: (A)

SDS/MSDS are designed to give you the safety information you need to handle products in a salon setting. They typically list the ingredients and their concentrations, the hazards the product poses (both health and physical hazards), information about flammability and other combustion-related properties, and clear guidance on how to store and handle the product properly. This combination helps you understand what you’re working with, the risks involved, how to prevent problems like fires or exposures, and how to keep materials separate and stored safely. Color, fragrance, price, vendor contact, and marketing claims aren’t safety details, so they don’t belong in SDS/MSDS.
