• C. Not sure
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

An MSDS (now often called a Safety Data Sheet) is a document that communicates the hazards of a chemical product and the precautions needed to handle, store, transport, and dispose of it safely. For pesticides, this includes details on potential health effects from exposure, routes of entry, required personal protective equipment, safe handling practices, storage guidelines, spill cleanup, and emergency first-aid measures. This information helps applicators understand the risks and know exactly what to do to protect themselves and others, making the statement true. The MSDS is a standard source of hazard and safe-handling information, not something infrequently used or uncertain.
