OSHA required notices for hazardous substances that provide hazard, handling, clean-up, and first aid information are called?

MAC
SDS
MEC
HCFA-1500

The correct answer is: SDS

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are crucial documents that provide comprehensive information about hazardous substances. They include essential details such as the hazards associated with a substance, instructions for safe handling and use, guidelines for clean-up in case of a spill, and first aid measures in case of exposure. The OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) mandates that employers maintain and make accessible SDS for all hazardous chemicals used in the workplace to ensure safety and compliance. The other options, while relevant to different contexts, do not serve the same purpose. The MAC (Maximum Allowable Concentration) refers to the highest level of a hazardous substance that is permitted in the air, but it doesn't provide the detailed information found in an SDS. MEC (Minimum Essential Coverage) pertains to health insurance requirements under the Affordable Care Act, and HCFA-1500 is a form used for health insurance claims, unrelated to hazardous substances. Thus, Safety Data Sheets stand out as the correct answer for the required notices addressing hazardous substances.
