Funny thing about MSDS. Here's one that's used everyday in the food industry. This is a product that most people injest everyday......Pretty nasty stuff.....

FIRST AID
INHAL:REMOVE FROM EXPOS AREA TO FRESH AIR IMMED. IF BRTHG HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTF RESP. KEEP PERS WARM & AT REST. TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY & SUPPORTIVELY. GET MED ATTN IMMED. SKIN:REMOVE CONTAM CLTHG & SHOES IMMED. WASH AFFECTED AREA W/SOAP/ MILD DETERGENT & LG AMTS OF WATER UNTIL NO CHEM REMAINS (15-20 MINS). GET MED ATTN IMMED. EYE:WASH IMMED W/LG AMTS OF WATER/NORM SALINE, OCCAS LIFTING (ING 18)
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point Text: 133F,56C
Auto Ignition Temperature Text:
Lower Limits: 1.8% Upper Limits: 6.9%
Extinguishing Media: DRY CHEM, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER SPRAY/ALCOHOL-RESIST FOAM. LGR FIRES:WATER SPRAY/ALCOHOL-RESIST FOAM. ALCOHOL FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures: USE NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP (FP N). MOVE CNTNR FROM FIRE AREA IF YOU CAN DO IT W/OUT RISK. APPLY COOLING WATER TO SIDES OF CNTNRS THAT (SUPDAT)
Unusal Fire/Explosion Hazard: MOD FIRE HAZ WHEN EXPOS TO HEAT/FLAME. VAP-AIR MIXTS ARE EXPLO ABOVE FLASH PT. VAPS ARE HVR/AIR & MAY TRAVEL CONSIDERABLE DIST TO SOURCE OF IGNIT & FLASH BACK.
RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Release Procedures: SHUT OFF IGNIT SOURCES. STOP LEAK IF YOU CAN DO IT W/OUT RISK. USE WATER SPRAY TO REDUCE VAPS. FOR SM SPILLS, TAKE UP W/SAND/OTHER ABSORB MATL & PLACE INTO CNTNRS FOR LATER DISP. FOR LGR SPILLS, DIKE FAR AHEAD OF SPILL FOR LATER DISP. NO (I NG 22)
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: OBSERVE ALL FEDERAL, STATE & LOCAL REGULATIONS WHEN DISPOSING OF THIS SUBSTANCE.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
OBSERVE ALL FED, STATE & LOC REGS WHEN STORING THIS SUBSTANCE. STORE I/A/W 29CFR1910.106. STORE AWAY FROM INCOMPAT SUBSTANCES. VAPS MAY BE EXPLO/POIS.

Supplemental Safety & Health: FIRE FIGHT PROC:ARE EXPOS TO FLAMES UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS OUT. STAY AWAY FROM ENDS OF TANKS. FOR MASSIVE FIRE IN CARGO AREA, USE UNMANNED HOSE HOLDER/MONITOR NOZZ; IF THIS IS IMPOSS, W/DRAW FROM AREA & LET FIRE BURN. W/DRAW IMMED IN CASE OF RISING SOUND FROM VENTING SFTY DEVICE/ANY DISCOLORATION OF TANK DUE (ING 2)
