Which information is not contained in a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)?

• A. Hazard statements
• B. First-aid measures
• C. Cost of the material
• D. Physical properties

Answer: (C)

The information being tested is what type of details appear on a Safety Data Sheet and which items it does not include. A Safety Data Sheet focuses on safety and handling of a material. It provides hazard statements that describe the nature of the risks, first-aid measures for exposure, and physical properties such as appearance, odor, boiling point, melting point, flash point, and other characteristics. It also covers how to handle and store the material, what protective equipment to use, and what to do in emergencies, along with sections on composition, stability, reactivity, and toxicology. The cost or price of the material, however, is not part of the Safety Data Sheet; pricing information belongs to procurement or purchasing documents, not safety data.

So, the information not contained is the cost.
