○ to reminder the potential for electrostatic discharge
○ to document how to safely handle and dispose of hazardous materials
○ to prevent dust from accumulating on electrical equipment
☐ i want to review this question later (optional)

Explanation:

An MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet, now often called SDS - Safety Data Sheet) is a document that provides information on the properties of hazardous materials, including how to safely handle, store, and dispose of them. Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: Preventing technicians from large voltages is not the purpose of an MSDS.
• Option 2: Reminding about electrostatic discharge is not the main purpose of an MSDS.
• Option 3: Documenting how to safely handle and dispose of hazardous materials matches the purpose of an MSDS.
• Option 4: Preventing dust accumulation on electrical equipment is not related to an MSDS.

Answer:

C. To document how to safely handle and dispose of hazardous materials
