MSDS quiz

This may save your eyes.
MSDS (material safety data sheet) forms are produced by each supplying company to a fairly uniform template. The order is the same: 1. Company contacts; 2. Hazards; 3. Composition etc. but the look&feel is different for different companies.  In an emergency, there is too much [6-8 pages] information.  You need to be familiar with the chemicals you use, but also with the chemicals that your lab-mates use – you may have to deal with the crisis on the next bench. This quiz is designed to force you to read several different MSDS forms to abstract particular information; that way you’ll be quicker off the mark if there is trouble.

Instructions:
1. Answer the questions below, as far as you are able, under exam conditions using your prior training and common sense: it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes - tops.
2. Get access to the internet, set the clock and find the correct answers to the questions from the Source links.
3. Make particular note of cases where common sense is at variance with correct practice.
