Which section of the SDS outlines hazards associated with a material?

The section of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) that outlines hazards associated with a material is the Hazards Identification section. This section provides crucial information about the specific hazards linked to the chemical, including potential health effects, environmental impacts, and any physical hazards such as flammability or reactivity.

It informs users of the risks posed by the substance and emphasizes the importance of handling it safely. This section may also include relevant classification according to regulatory agencies, which helps ensure that anyone working with or around the material understands the necessary precautions to take.

Other sections of the SDS serve different purposes, such as identifying the product, detailing its composition, or providing first-aid measures, but none specifically focus on the hazards associated with the material as comprehensively as the Hazards Identification section does. This makes it an essential part of the SDS for anyone working with potentially hazardous substances.
