Özet
Employees in workplaces are exposed to physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial hazards. These hazards affect employees in various ways. Having knowledge of the characteristics of chemicals to which employees are exposed can help minimize the risks of workplace accidents and occupational diseases. "Material Safety Data Sheets for Hazardous Substances and Mixtures" known as MSDS, should be provided in Turkish for chemicals used in workplaces, and employees should receive training. An MSDS for any chemical should contain 16 parameter information. Upon examination of the MSDS, the presence of risk statements (R) indicating the potential risks of the chemical and safety statements (S) outlining actions to be taken when exposed to the harmful effects of the chemical can be observed. Due to the length of MSDS in workplaces, posting them for warning purposes is generally challenging. Therefore, examining the MSDS for chemicals used in production and preparing short MSDS labels containing only necessary information would be more practical. These labels provide information to the staff in areas where chemicals are used in workplaces and assist in interventions during emergencies. This study provides users with concise information on the use of the mentioned MSDS labels, preventing hazards associated with chemicals in workplaces, and reducing risks. Easy access to this summary information could help laboratory users avoid workplace accidents and occupational diseases.
