Which section of the SDS provides important information about potential first-aid treatments?

Section 4 of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is dedicated to providing information about first-aid measures. This section outlines the necessary actions to take if someone is exposed to the chemical in question, including specific treatments for different types of exposure. It typically includes guidance on immediate care, symptoms and effects of exposure, and how to seek further medical help if needed. This is crucial for ensuring that responders can quickly provide aid and mitigate health risks associated with the chemical.

The other sections listed do serve important purposes within the SDS but are focused on different aspects of chemical safety. For example, Section 1 generally covers identification and details about the chemical, Section 2 deals with hazard identification (such as classifications and warnings), and Section 3 typically contains information on the composition and ingredients of the chemical. Each section serves its own function, but when it comes to first-aid treatments specifically, Section 4 is the critical part of the SDS.
