What is Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?
A standardized 16-section document that communicates detailed information about the hazards, safe handling, storage, and emergency procedures for chemical products used in the workplace, required under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard.
Why it matters in hiring
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
