Abstract

The study is aimed to analyze the MSDS awareness as per the properties, including general characteristics, of laboratory workers in university. It conducted the self-administered survey on the subject of 780 laboratory workers engaging in research activities in three university from February to May, 2017. Among them, it analyzed 686 cases except 94 of them, lacking content. As a result, education experience of MSDS, necessity of education, usage experience of MSDS, installation, comprehension, and accessibility showed a strategically significant difference in the recognition of MSDS. According to the categorical importance of MSDS, "the first aid measures" directly related to life was most significantly considered. It is estimated that it will contribute to prevention of safety accident by strengthening education on MSDS and increasing the level of awareness for laboratory workers.
