The Office of Lab and Chemical Safety manages all aspects of lab safety and chemical safety at Georgia Tech. Our program is extensive and provides guidance and support to the campus community. Our mission is to identify and eliminate or minimize the risk of exposure, injury, or illness associated with research involving hazardous chemical agents. Our primary goal is to be a highly valued partner with all Georgia Tech faculty, staff, and students to facilitate completion of their work in a safe and compliant manner.

Laboratory Safety at Georgia Tech is a multi-faceted program managed by the Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), which includes programs in Biological Safety, Chemical Safety, Hazardous Materials Management, Fire and Life Safety, General Safety, and Radiological Safety.

Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), are documents produced by manufacturers that describe the hazards of their products. 

Safety Data Sheets must be accessible 24 hours a day to all persons using chemicals. SDSs are available at the following locations:

• EHSA database (requires GT login)
• www.hazard.com

You can also find SDSs by referring to the manufacturer's website or by searching the name of the chemical or CAS # followed by the words SDS.
