We considered the quality of the accompanying documentation for chemical products, primarily safety data sheets. As is known, a safety data sheet of chemical products is a document that is transmitted through the supply chain. It is a main source of information on the hazardous properties of chemical products and measures for their safe handling throughout the entire life cycle. Completeness and accuracy of the information presented in it play a key role in ensuring safety at workplaces, protecting the environment, as well as correct actions in case of accidents involving chemical products. Unfortunately, along with hazardous products, safety data sheets are circulated on the market, the incorrect or inaccurate contents of which represent a serious threat to consumers.
