Which of the following is included in the MSDS?

The correct choice refers to the information that is typically included in a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which has now been largely replaced by Safety Data Sheets (SDS) under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). These documents are critical for conveying information about the hazards of materials and ensuring safe handling practices in workplace settings.

Physical data and chemical name are key components of the MSDS because they provide essential information about the substance's characteristics, including its state (solid, liquid, gas), appearance, odor, boiling point, melting point, and other pertinent details that inform users about the material's physical properties. Understanding these properties helps employees and emergency responders to handle the substance safely and respond effectively in case of spills or exposure.

The other options, while they may be relevant in specific contexts, do not belong in a standard MSDS/SDS. Environmental impact data might be available in other documents or assessments, but it is not a required element of an MSDS. Manufacturer's financial information is not pertinent to safety and handling protocols, nor is it necessary for users to know. Quality control procedures are more about manufacturing and are not typically included in a safety datasheet, as the focus is on safety and emergency information rather than production methods.
