Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a document that provides detailed information about a chemical substance, focusing on safety and handling.
Identify the typical sections of an SDS, which include: identification, hazard(s) identification, composition/information on ingredients, first-aid measures, fire-fighting measures, accidental release measures, handling and storage, exposure controls/personal protection, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicological information, and more.
Recognize that 'Recommended personal protective equipment (PPE)' is part of the exposure controls/personal protection section, so it will be found on an SDS.
Note that 'Chemical hazard identification' is explicitly included in the hazard(s) identification section of the SDS.
Understand that physical and chemical properties such as the chemical's melting point are also listed on the SDS, but commercial information like the price of the chemical is not included.
