Material Safety Data Sheets
An MSDS is a summary of information on a given chemical, which identifies the
material, its health and physical hazards, its exposure limits, and the precautions
involved. An MSDS also describes the hazards of a material and provides
information on the way the material may be safely handled, used, and stored. Soldiers
and Marines should request a copy of an MSDS when receiving a hazardous
chemical from supply and retain it for turn-in purposes. Commanders should
periodically review each MSDS pertaining to their unit to ensure a quick response
when identifying symptoms and handling emergencies. Commanders must also have
one of these forms for every chemical in the Soldier and Marine work area. Each
version of an MSDS must be approved by the DOL or G-4. The MSDS does not
contain a special format, nor does it include all known data for a given chemical.
However, typical components are outlined in 29 CFR 1910. The MSDS can be
generated by data and obtained through the Hazardous Material Information
Resource System or directly from the product vendor or supplier. Table K-1,
page K-2, provides a reference for information found in an MSDS. Table K-2,
page K-3, details the chemical hazards portion of the MSDS.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET INTRODUCTION
K-1. This information allows a unit to—
z
Protect Soldier and Marine health.
z
Store materials safely.
z
Respond to spills and emergencies quickly and correctly.
K-2. When a material is issued, Soldiers and Marines should ask supply personnel to provide an MSDS.
A sample MSDS for motor fuel is shown in figure K-1, pages K-4 through K-9. However, Soldiers
and Marines should remember that MSDS forms vary. If an MSDS is unavailable for a particular
hazardous substance, contact the installation safety office for assistance.

Appendix L
Environmental Program Resources
This appendix provides a listing of resources available for implementing and
sustaining your unit environmental program. Information on training assets,
significant references and Web sites, lessons learned, and points of contact are
included.
TRAINING
L-1. Training is key to ensuring that personnel integrate environmental considerations properly to protect
both themselves and the environment. The implementation of general and specialized training programs,
along with the integration of environmental considerations into training exercises, will ensure that units are
prepared to meet environmental requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
L-2. Environmental awareness training is required for all personnel. Such training provides basic
information on installation and unit environmental practices. It leads to safer performance and establishes
an environmental ethic among Soldiers and Marines. Awareness training should occur as early as possible
following an assignment to a unit, and environmental officers reinforce environmental awareness training
annually.
L-3. In addition to general environmental awareness training, individuals with certain duties and
responsibilities require specialized training. As part of their ongoing technical skills training, units provide
some specialized environmental training through integrated instruction or supplemental material.
TRAINING RESOURCES
L-4. A variety of resources are available to assist units in the development and implementation of
environmental training programs. Check with the unit training officer or NCO for the resources available,
which may include training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations.
United States Army Engineer School Products
L-5. USAES has developed a catalog that consolidates most of the currently available products and is
updated on a routine basis. It is intended for use as a quick reference and educational resource for Soldiers,
Marines, and leaders and may be accessed on the USAES DEI Training Division Web site at
Environmental Officer Training
Installation Environmental Trainer’s Course
L-6. The installation environmental trainer trains unit/activity-level Soldiers, Marines, and civilians in a
unit environmental officer course. This course provides environmental officers with the tools required to
advise unit commanders/supervisors on environmental considerations at their respective units. Working
with the Installation Environmental Trainer’s Course and the installation environmental office, the
environmental officer acts as a liaison between the unit and the installation staff.
16 February 2010

z
Identifying Environmental Hazards in the Unit.
z
Protecting the Environment From POL Products.
z
Managing Environmental Risk Assessments.
z
Integrating Environmental Risk Assessment Into Predeployment Planning.
Installation Environmental Management Office
L-9. The installation environmental management office provides installation-specific environmental
officer train-the-trainer training to allow environmental officers to inform unit personnel of compliance.
The environmental management office staff may also provide unit personnel with specific training in
proper response to environmental emergencies. Personnel must comply with environmental regulations
while accomplishing their tasks in a manner that meets Army environmental standards. The environmental
management office provides briefings and training to supervisors and small unit commanders to ensure that
they understand what is required of them. For further information, contact the local installation
environmental management office.
Resident
L-10. Resident training pertains to instruction presented in a formal setting by trained instructors. It may
be presented by conventional methods, such as conference, advanced technology, computers, distributed
learning methods, or a combination of these methods. USAES has developed training support packages
(TSPs) for inclusion in various initial entry, precommissioning, and professional development courses. For
more information, see the environmental awareness and doctrine, organization, training, materiel,
leadership and education, personnel, and facilities product catalog at the USAES DEI Products Web site at
Nonresident
L-11. All nonresident training products may be found on AKO at <https://www.us.army.mil>. To support
a nonresident version of the environmental TSPs, USAES has developed Army correspondence courses
related to preparing junior enlisted, company grade officers, and NCOs to execute their environmental
responsibilities outlined in this FM and AR 200-1. Soldiers and Marines may request the following
correspondence courses through the Army Correspondence Course Program (ACCP). The ACCP Web site
at
<http://www.atsc.army.mil/accp/aipdnew.asp> lists the courses and subcourses administered by the
Army Institute for professional development and outlines procedures and administrative functions affecting
student enrollment. Individuals may obtain more information/register for these courses at

LESSONS LEARNED CENTERS
L-13. The collection and study of lessons learned is a valuable means of improving the techniques and
procedures for integrating environmental considerations. The recent increase in operations, both at home
and overseas, has resulted in a wealth of experience and knowledge. See the following:
z
Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) Newsletter 99-9.
z
CALL Newsletter 04-19.
CENTER FOR ARMY LESSONS LEARNED DATABASE
L-14. The CALL database contains additional data to support the needs of the commander in the area of
military environmental protection. Military environmental protection is the application and integration
of all aspects of natural environmental considerations as they apply to the conduct of military
operations. A host of lessons learned and examples of other unit actions/experiences are available for use.
See the CALL Web site at <http://call.army.mil>.
SOURCES OF ASSISTANCE
L-15. Many sources of assistance are available to help units develop command environmental programs.
These sources include installation staffs, SMEs at other agencies (such as USACE), and various online
tools.
INSTALLATION/OPERATIONS STAFFS
L-16. Most installations maintain environmental staffs available to assist military units with environmental
requirements. Some of this expertise may be found in specific environmental offices, while other areas of
expertise are embedded in installation agencies (such as DPW/facilities or range management offices).
Environmental Management Office
L-17. The environmental management office is staffed with scientists and engineers responsible for
developing and implementing installation environmental programs. This office is usually a division within
the installation DPW or the facilities management office of the state area coordinator for the ARNG. Many
environmental management offices are organized according to the installation environmental program
which encompasses five general components. The components include—
z
Compliance elements that monitor current operations and ensure that units follow environmental
guidelines.
z
P2 elements that manage installation initiatives, such as source reduction, HW minimization,
recycling, and materials substitution.
16 February 2010
FM 3-34.5/MCRP 4-11B
L-3
Appendix L
z
Natural and cultural resources management elements that manage installation conservation
initiatives for forests, wildlife, wetlands, and historical resources.
z
Restoration elements that manage the cleanup of contamination sites on the installation.
z
Planning and documenting elements that address the possible environmental impacts of future
operations and activities.
Directorate of Logistics
L-18. The responsibilities of DOLs and G-4s include the management of POL and HM. The
directorate/staff section also exercises environmental control and oversight of HM (including ammunition)
maintenance, transportation, and storage activities.
Directorate of Plans, Training, and Mobilization
L-19. The responsibilities of the Directorate of Plans, Training, and Mobilization or the Assistant Chief of
Staff, Operations and Plans (G-3) include installation/unit operations and training. These offices coordinate
all training activities, to include budgeting, development, and maintenance of training areas, the ITAM
program, and mission priorities. The directorate also coordinates the range division and maintains overall
responsibility for range operations, maintenance, and construction.
Staff Judge Advocate
L-20. The SJA provides legal advice and assistance in the interpretation and application of environmental
laws and rules to installation activities. This process/service is particularly important when assessing the
environmental impact of a new initiative (such as construction).
Public Affairs Officer
L-21. The PAO is the official spokesperson for the installation/unit and manages public involvement
activities and responses—particularly during public controversy—in close coordination with other key
installation/unit members. This is particularly important when assessing the environmental impact of a new
initiative (such as construction).
Safety Officer
L-22. The safety officer works closely with the environmental staff on programs to help prevent accidents
that could threaten or damage human health and the environment. HAZCOM, MSDSs (see Appendix K),
and OSHA-mandated training are the purview of the safety office.
Preventive Medicine Office/Surgeon
L-23. The preventive medicine office is the point of contact for the medical monitoring program and for
work-related health problems. This office, often colocated with medical units or hospitals, can provide
critical information concerning public health issues (such as the use of pesticides).
Fire Department
L-24. The fire department provides firefighting and spill response support to the installation. In many
instances, the fire department is also staffed with highly trained spill response personnel who provide
expert advice on spill reaction measures.
L-4
FM 3-34.5/MCRP 4-11B
16 February 2010
Environmental Program Resources
Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office
L-25. The DRMO works closely with DPW and DOL to store and provide for disposal of solid waste,
including HW generated at the installation. This DOD organization becomes critical to units attempting to
turn in potentially hazardous substances or HM. Unit personnel with questions on turn-in procedures for
potentially hazardous substances or HM should check with the receiving DRMO facility to determine
documentation and packaging requirements.
SOURCES OF ASSISTANCE DURING TACTICAL OPERATIONS
L-26. While units may be able to benefit from the assistance of standard installation or base operations
support during tactical operations, the likelihood is that they will only be minor, perhaps supporting players
to provide assistance. Tactical operations will shift more support requirements to operational staffs rather
than to installation staff support. Some likely/potential sources of assistance are identified in the following
paragraphs.
Operational/Deployment Staff Assistance
L-27. The unit staff takes on a much larger role in environmental assistance when a unit is deployed or in
an operational status. The load will tend to rest on these staffs in the case of deployment to relatively
remote OCONUS locations. As time goes on and the duration of stay increases, it is highly possible that
the command will establish organizations like the base camp coordination agency and its subordinate base
camp assistance/assessment team. These organizations will provide tactical/operational commanders with
the military environmental protection support they need.
Base Camp Coordination Agency and Base Camp Assistance/Assessment Team
L-28. The base camp coordination agency and base camp assistance/assessment team concepts were
developed and successfully tested by the United States Army Europe. These organizations perform an
important and vital role, which in a tactical/operational arena essentially replaces the roles performed by
installation staffs. They may draw on resources from either home base or theater installation sources since
they are located at tactical/operational locations (such as base camps), which they typically support. See
CALL Newsletter 99-9 for insights into how these organizations provide assistance in a tactical/operational
setting.
Joint Environmental Management Board
L-29. Operational or tactical units may operate in-theater or as part of a joint task force. As participants in
a joint force, units may be required to interface with the actions of a temporary board, the JEMB (which
the joint commander or his designated commander, joint task force may activate). The JEMB establishes
policies, procedures, priorities, and the overall direction for environmental management requirements in-
theater according to the OEBGD/FGS in effect for the countries within the AOR. If appropriate, the board
may assume responsibility for the preparation of the environmental management support plan. The JEMB
is further explained in JP 3-34.
Foreign Nation
L-30. Depending on the capabilities of the foreign nation and agreements that have been made, foreign
nation support to the commander is possible. Senior-level staffs will typically be responsible for initiating
and securing this type of support.
16 February 2010
FM 3-34.5/MCRP 4-11B
L-5
Appendix L
Contractor Support
L-31. Environmental support assistance for the tactical/operational commander may be provided by a
contractor. This type of contracting has already occurred in places like Bosnia. Coordination for this
support will likely come through the base camp coordination agency, USACE, or a similar agency with
contracting capability.
Other
L-32. Regardless of the location, a myriad of sources are available with access to a telephone, e-mail, or
other electronic means of communication. The Defense Environmental Network and Information Exchange
Web site contains additional information. This Web site, operated by DOD, is sponsored by the
Department of Environmental Security Corporate Information Management. It provides timely access to
environmental legislative compliance, restoration, cleanup, and DOD guidance. See
<http://www.denix.osd.mil> for more information.
L-33. The Army Environmental Center implements the environmental program for the Army by providing
a broad range of innovative and cost-effective products and services in support of Army training,
operations, and sound stewardship. For further assistance, see the Web site at <http://aec.army.mil/usaec>.
L-34. USACHPPM has developed the Hazardous and Medical Waste Program Lending Library. See the
Web site at <http://chppm-www.apgea.army.mil>.
L-35. The Defense Automated Visual Information System/Defense Instructional Technology Information
System Web site contains a database for and descriptions of thousands of audiovisual
productions and interactive multimedia instruction products used by DOD. See this Web site at
L-36. AKO provides access to the Reimer Digital Library, which contains ACCPs, FMs, GTAs,
and other current policies and procedures. See the Web site at <https://www.us.army.mil>. A password is
required for access to the digital library.

processes such as the influence of man-made and natural factors) required to acquire, produce, and
supply information on the past, present, and future states of space, atmospheric, oceanographic, and
terrestrial surroundings for use in military planning and decisionmaking processes or to modify those
surroundings to enhance military operations.
*groundwater
A body of water, generally within the boundaries of a watershed, that exists in the internal
passageways of porous geological formations (aquifers) and flows in response to gravitational forces.
*hazard communication
The responsibility of leaders and supervisors concerning possible hazards in the workplace and
notification of hazards and necessary precaution to their personnel. Also called HAZCOM.
*hazardous material
Any substance which has a human health hazard associated with it. Special storage, use, handling, and
shipment safety procedures and protocols must be followed to help protect against accidental
exposure. Hazardous materials are specifically identified under federal law.
*hazardous substance
Elements, compounds, mixtures, solutions, and substances that, when released into the environment,
may present a substantial danger to public health and welfare or the environment.
*hazardous waste
A solid waste that is either listed as such in federal law or exhibits any of the four hazardous
characteristics— ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity.

*hazardous waste accumulation site
A specially designated site for the temporary collection of hazardous wastes where no container may
remain on-site for more than 90 days. The site, and containers within it, must be properly marked and
certain safety and management procedures apply. There is no limitation on the quantity of wastes
which may be kept on site.
*medical waste
Any waste that is generated in the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of human beings or animals.
*military environmental protection
The application and integration of all aspects of natural environmental considerations as they apply to
the conduct of military operations.
*monitoring
(joint, NATO) 1. The act of listening, carrying out surveillance on, and/or recording the emissions of
one’s own or multinational forces for the purpose of maintaining and improving procedural standards
and security, or for reference, as applicable. See FM 34-1. 2. The act of listening, carrying out
surveillance on, and/or recording of enemy emissions for intelligence purposes. See FM 34-1. 3. The
act of detecting the presence of radiation and the measurement thereof with radiation measuring
instruments. Also called radiological monitoring. See FM 3-3-1. (Army) 1. An element of
assessment: continuous observation of the common operational picture to identify indicators of
opportunities for success, threats to the force, and gaps in information. (FM 6-0) 2. The assessment of
emissions and ambient air quality conditions.
*natural environment
The human ecosystem, including both the physical and biological systems that provide resources
(clean air, clean water, healthy surroundings, and sufficient food), necessary to sustain productive
human life. Included in the natural environment are man-made structures, such as water and
wastewater treatment facilities and natural/cultural resources.
*notice of violation
Formal written document provided to an installation by a regulatory agency as a result of
environmental noncompliance. Also called NOV.
*restoration
The systematic removal of pollution or contaminants from the environment, especially from the soil or
groundwater, by physical, chemical, or biological means. Also known as remediation or
environmental cleanup.
*solid waste
Any material or substance (solid or liquid) that is inherently waste-like by being no longer suitable for
its originally intended purpose.
*source reduction
The decrease of hazardous waste generation at its sources. This reduction is to be achieved through
product substitution, recycling, and inventory control, and by developing new industrial processes that
use less hazardous materials, such as bead blasting rather than solvents to remove paint.
*spill
A generic term that encompasses the accidental and the deliberate but unpermitted discharge or release
of a pollutant.
*surface water
All water naturally open to the atmosphere (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, streams, impoundments,
seas, or estuaries) and all springs, wells, or other collectors directly influenced by surface water.
*threatened species
Those species that are likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a
significant portion of their range.
