Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
MSDSs are written by the manufacturers of chemicals and provide information on the chemical that cannot be put onto a label. They must be easily accessible to all employees in the laboratory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Fluid-resistant laboratory coats must be worn whenever a risk exists of splashing or spilling on clothing any hazardous fluid (biologic or chemical). This includes obtaining blood specimens. They should not be worn in the cafeteria, home, or restroom.
