• http://hazard.com/msds/ “Vermont SIRI” site. One of the most complete MSDS collections on the web. You may be able to find your product more quickly if you know the CAS (Chemical Abstract Service) number or NSN (National Stock Number). All pure chemicals and many mixtures have been assigned CAS numbers; all MSDS must include the CAS number if there is one available.
• http://www.msdssearch.com/ManuflinksA.htm “MSDS-Search” site. Connects you to MSDS websites of many manufacturers (some sites don’t have the actual MSDSs but allow you to request an MSDS via email, which is handy).
