Before using any chemical in the lab, why should one first read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)? This is important for laboratory safety. The MSDS tells where to purchase chemicals. The MSDS provides the chemical formulas. This is important for analyzing experiments.

The right answer is; This is important for laboratory safety.

Before using any chemical in the lab, one should first read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) because it is important for laboratory safety.

A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a technical document that contains detailed information about the protective measures to take, and the possible hazards of a chemical. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is available for all the chemicals used in the laboratory and it may be written, printed or electronic.
