Which of the following is required on a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS)?
Correct Answer
D) 16 standardized sections in a specific order
Under GHS, Safety Data Sheets must contain exactly 16 standardized sections in a specific order, including identification, hazard identification, composition, first aid measures, and other required information.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) mandates that Safety Data Sheets contain exactly 16 standardized sections arranged in a specific, predetermined order. This standardization ensures consistency across all manufacturers and countries that have adopted GHS. The specific order is crucial for safety personnel to quickly locate critical information during emergencies. These 16 sections cover everything from product identification to regulatory information in a logical sequence.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 12 standardized sections in any order
This is wrong because GHS requires 16 sections, not 8, and company logos are not part of the standardized requirements for SDS content.
Option B: 20 standardized sections including cost information
This is incorrect because GHS requires 16 sections, not 12, and the order is specifically mandated and cannot be arranged in any order the manufacturer chooses.
Memory Technique
Use the phrase 'Sweet 16 in Order' - just like a Sweet 16 party has a specific order of events, GHS SDS sheets have exactly 16 sections that must follow a specific order.
Reference Hint
Look up OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 Hazard Communication Standard or the safety chapter in your Florida contractor reference materials for GHS and SDS requirements.
