An MSDS lists the hazardous chemical contents of a product, describes its <br />health and safety hazards, and gives methods for using, storing and disposing of it <br />safely. The employer may obtain an MSDS from the manufacturer of the product <br />containing mercury. An example of an MSDS for mercury is provided in appendix A. <br />The Hazard Evaluation System and Information Service (HESIS) produces fact sheets, <br />booklets, and technical documents on work place chemicals. A HESIS fact sheet <br />regarding mercury is provided in appendix B. HESIS fact sheets are designed as an aid <br />for worker training programs and does not take the place of an MSDS. The HESIS <br />office is located in Berkeley, California, and can be contacted at (510) 540-3138. <br />Employees should be trained on operational and safety aspects of any equipment used <br />during mercury component removal. Employees should also be trained in first aid. <br />FM <br />L] <br />C7 <br />a <br />C <br />
