Nelson-Jameson, Inc. has the largest collection of reagents assembled exclusively for food & dairy testing laboratories. Reagent chemicals should be handled only by qualified individuals trained in laboratory procedures and familiar with their potential hazards. “Right to Know” laws make it mandatory that anyone handling a hazardous substance be informed of the health hazards and safety precautions associated with that chemical.

Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) are provided by Nelson-Jameson as required by OSHA’s Hazard Communication Law for products designed as hazardous. Our automated system assures that you will receive an MSDS with your first purchase of that hazardous item. You may also contact us to request MSDS information

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are quite familiar to anyone working with hazardous chemicals in such environments as: labs, distribution warehouses, food operations, etc. The sheets describe “the physical and chemical properties, physical and health hazards, routes of exposure, precautions for safe handling and use, emergency and first-aid procedures, and control measures.” OSHA cites that these documents, along with labels and training in the workplace, are key elements in maintaining proper handling of hazardous materials in the workplace. It is also essential that employees are familiar with MSDS documents and know where to find them in your operation.
