An SDS may be required wherever a potentially hazardous material is stored or used.

• A. Stored or used
• B. Processed
• C. Transported
• D. Recycled

Answer: (A)

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is the primary tool for hazard communication about a chemical, giving workers the hazards, safe handling practices, storage requirements, and emergency actions. Employers must have an up-to-date SDS for each hazardous chemical and keep it accessible where the material is present so employees can reference it during routine tasks. This makes “stored or used” the best answer because the SDS is meant to support safety in the places where the chemical actually exists in the facility—when it is being stored or actively handled. While processing, transporting, or recycling involve safety considerations, the SDS is specifically tied to scenarios where the material is on-site and needs to be managed safely by staff. Hence, the requirement applies wherever it is stored or used.
