Safety Data Sheets

Safety Data Sheets (SDS), formerly called Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), provide information needed to work safely with hazardous chemicals. SDS may include information about chemical hazards, physical properties, health effects, first aid, storage, disposal, personal protective equipment, and spill or leak response.


Search for Safety Data Sheets

Ramapo College Safety Data Sheets are available through Campus Optics.  Search by chemical name first. If there are no results, or if multiple results appear, use the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number in the advanced search option to narrow the results.

 Search the Campus Optics SDS Database

If you cannot find the SDS in Campus Optics, contact EHS at 551-370-8711.

Safety Data Sheets Resources

As a backup, an SDS may also be available from the chemical manufacturer or supplier. Search the manufacturer or supplier website using the chemical name or CAS number and “SDS.”  Below are several common chemical manufacturers along with the NJ Department of Health.
