Explanation:

A.

This helps workers and handlers to work with the chemical safely.

One would typically enter the name of the chemical and look for the relevant document.

Answer:

A. To provide chemical - related safety info including hazards, handling, storage, and emergency response.
B. For example, for ethanol, search on manufacturer or safety database websites.
