Which of the following is a typical component of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?

• A. First aid measures
• B. Company stock market performance
• C. Temperature control recommendations for the facility
• D. Marketing slogans

Answer: (A)

An SDS is a document that communicates how to handle a chemical safely and what to do in an emergency. A common section you’ll find is first aid measures, which explains what to do if someone is exposed, what symptoms to watch for, and the immediate steps to take before medical help arrives. This information is crucial for anyone working with the chemical because it guides a prompt, appropriate response to protect health.

The other ideas don’t fit because they’re not related to chemical hazards or safety actions. Stock market performance and marketing slogans aren’t safety information, and while the SDS may include storage guidance, facility-wide temperature controls aren’t the focus of an SDS’s hazard-and-response content.
