Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), now more commonly referred to as Safety Data Sheets (SDS), are specific to each product and must be provided by the manufacturer to ensure proper handling, storage, and use, including personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements. Technician B is incorrect because an MSDS/SDS for a similar product may not have the exact safety and health information for the new product, leading to potential safety hazards.
