Technicians use MSDS sheets to:

Be aware of flammable, corrosive, or explosive substances
Know what materials are available for their use
Know the best brand of product to purchase
Be aware of the best source of lubricants for machinery on site

The correct answer is: Be aware of flammable, corrosive, or explosive substances

The correct choice emphasizes the importance of Safety Data Sheets (formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets or MSDS). These sheets are crucial in providing detailed information on the properties and hazards associated with various substances. Specifically, they offer guidance on the flammability, corrosiveness, and explosiveness of materials, which are essential for maintaining safety in work environments. By understanding these hazards, technicians can take appropriate precautions when handling these substances, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. The other options do not align with the primary purpose of MSDS sheets. While knowing about available materials and sourcing products is beneficial, the MSDS focuses on safety and health risks rather than product branding or sourcing strategies. Therefore, relying solely on this information to decide on purchasing materials would not be accurate or safe practice.
