käyttöturvallisuusnäkökohdissa

käyttöturvallisuustiedote is a Finnish term that translates to "Safety Data Sheet" in English. It is a document that provides information about the potential hazards of a chemical product and advice on safety precautions for handling, storing, and using the product.

The primary purpose of a käyttöturvallisuustiedote is to ensure the safe use of chemicals in workplaces. It is intended for use by employers, employees, and emergency responders. The information contained within a käyttöturvallisuustiedote is crucial for risk assessment and the implementation of appropriate control measures to protect human health and the environment.

A typical käyttöturvallisuustiedote includes sixteen sections, as standardized by the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). These sections cover information such as identification of the substance or mixture and of the supplier, hazard 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, ecological information, disposal considerations, transport information, regulatory information, and other information.

The manufacturer or importer of a chemical product is responsible for creating and providing the käyttöturvallisuustiedote. Employers are then obligated to make these documents accessible to their employees who may be exposed to the hazardous substances. This ensures that workers have the necessary knowledge to work safely with chemicals.
