Safety Data Sheets are the documents that detail hazards and how to handle chemicals safely. They provide essential information on a chemical’s properties, the hazards it poses, and practical guidance on safe handling, storage, required PPE, first aid measures, spill response, and disposal. This helps you work safely with products used in facials and skincare, ensuring you know how to prevent exposure and what to do in an emergency. The Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations cover overall product safety and labeling, not the specific hazards and handling of each chemical. A risk assessment is the process of evaluating what could go wrong and how serious it would be, rather than a single document with hazard and handling details. Ventilation is a control measure to reduce exposure, not a document.
