TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Now for some misguidance that might be on mistarget.
Ask the users what they call the things. One of the frequent answers
will likely be "MSDS sheets". I just checked with my wife, a quality
engineer and chemist. She confirmed the term and the plural. Yecch!
Yet another approach borrows from the old mongoose joke, "Send me an
MSDS. While you're at it, send me three more."
