contribute towards major injuries or damages especially among school children in
school laboratory.
This study quantified how well the knowledge of Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) or Chemical Safety Data Sheet (CSDS) and determined
understanding of MSDS/CSDS and their practice of obeying the regulation stated
in Classification, Packaging and Labeling {CPL) Regulation 1997 among
chemistry teachers in secondary schools in Kubang Kerian and to determine
training needs in chemical safety at schools.
Face to face interview survey was done among chemistry teachers consist
of six respondents from five schools in Kubang Kerian district using standard
questionnaires base on CPL Regulation 1997.
None of the respondent knows about MSDS/CSDS or aware about CPL
1997 and there is no specific training in chemical safety even though they are
dealing with hazardous chemicals in the laboratory. However, most of them know
parts of the dangerousness of the chemicals from the labels.
A very useful information was obtained in the study that can be used by
various departments for training and preventive programs at school level for the
MSDS/CSDS system to be implemented effectively and thereby protect staffs
and school children from the harmful effects of the hazardous chemicals.
