They're better then nothing, but three major error sources come to mind: * Word processing glitches where the writer pastes the wrong boilerplate into an MSDS, * Too often the PPE guidance is rubbish. The archetype is "Use rubber gloves," and * They are often hyper conservative. Apparently they're written for worst-case scenarios. Oh, did I mention standardization? Or making them worker- (as compared to Industrial Hygienist-) friendly? Gordon Miller Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory P.O.
