Abstract
The manufacturer’s material safety data sheet (MSDS) represents the primary source of information on safety issues related to the material or product to which it is related. It is thus a first point of call for the dermatologist trying to judge whether a particular product/substance might be responsible for a case of occupational skin disease under consideration. Even though current MSDSs are of great help, they may not be exact enough from a dermato-allergist’s point of view (Kanerva et al. 1997).
