Which of the following is NOT a purpose of having an MSDS available?

  1. Knowing proper handling procedures

  2. Identifying hazardous ingredients

  3. Knowing what supplies are in stock

  4. Understanding emergency measures

The correct answer is: Knowing what supplies are in stock

The correct choice highlights that knowing what supplies are in stock is not a purpose of having a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available. The primary function of an MSDS is to provide health and safety information related to the handling of hazardous materials. This includes knowing the proper handling procedures, identifying hazardous ingredients within the substances used, and understanding emergency measures for incidents such as spills or exposure. Each of these purposes focuses on safety and chemical management, ensuring that anyone using or coming into contact with potentially dangerous substances is aware of the risks and how to mitigate them. In contrast, inventory management, such as knowing what supplies are in stock, does not fall within the safety scope provided by MSDS documents. Therefore, it accurately reflects the intention behind MSDS resources.
