Which statement best describes Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in Curexa's handling of medications?

Safety Data Sheets provide the safety and handling details for medications that carry risks. In Curexa, the SDS library is available to staff, and it’s important to review an SDS whenever a medication becomes newly required to have one. This review ensures you know how to handle the drug safely, what protective equipment to use, how to store it, and what to do in case of spills or exposure. SDSs are not optional and they do not replace labeling requirements; labeling and SDS work together to communicate safety information. For a newly classified hazardous medication, the SDS will guide you on the exact precautions to take.
