Find a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides chemical identification, hazards, first aid, handling & storage, exposure controls, disposal and other regulatory information.

  1. If the HM has a yellow inventory sticker, find the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) number (244931 in this example):

  2. Open the HMMS SDS website using a computer that reads your Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card. If you do not have a PIV card, please see your Civil Servant contact or your supervisor for the SDSs.

    a.  Make sure the security popup asks for your Authentication Certificate.  This example says “Signature” so it has to be changed:

    c.  Enter your PIV PIN into the next popup and click “OK”:
