SDS sheets provide:

  1. Protocols for pharmacy technicians

  2. Safety codes from OSHA

  3. Ordering numbers from the wholesaler

  4. Information about hazardous substances

The correct answer is: Information about hazardous substances

SDS sheets, or Safety Data Sheets, are designed to provide comprehensive information about hazardous substances. They contain essential details regarding the properties of a chemical, including its potential hazards, safe handling practices, necessary personal protective equipment, and emergency measures in case of an accident. This information is critical for pharmacy technicians to ensure safe handling and compliance with regulations related to hazardous materials. The other options do not reflect the primary purpose of SDS sheets. While OSHA does oversee the regulation and use of SDS sheets, the sheets themselves are focused specifically on safety information rather than protocols or safety codes. Furthermore, SDS sheets do not provide ordering numbers, as their function is to inform rather than facilitate the procurement process. Thus, the key role of SDS sheets in providing information about hazardous substances makes this the correct answer.
