From ccohs.ca - July 18, 2017 4:14 AM

Open your health and safety manual and two words that will appear frequently will be “hazard” and “risk”. They are often used interchangeably; however they each mean something very different. Is a wet floor in a workplace a hazard or a risk? Knowing what each of these terms means, and using them properly can help you better address workplace health and safety issues.

Identifying the most hazardous substances – sector by sector

From newsletter.echa.europa.eu - June 8, 2017 9:33 AM

How can we identify harmful substances and make sure that their risks are managed if we don’t have enough information on their hazardous properties and uses? The answer is simple – we can’t. But we are not sitting back and waiting – we’ll tell you how sector associations are working with us to identify and address substances that matter the most and at the same time improve data quality.

DERMaL eToolkit provides informational resources and tools associated with dermal exposures to chemicals

From blogs.cdc.gov - May 29, 2017 4:41 AM

Emergency response personnel are often at risk of getting dangerous chemicals on their skin. Despite the availability of numerous high-quality resources designed to guide emergency management and operations personnel, data gaps continue to exist on specific hazards or scenarios. Available resources contain an overwhelming quantity of data on inhalation exposures, but data related to dermal exposures are more challenging to find. Dermal contact is an important exposure pathway and can present significant health risks [Dotson et al. 2015].

The goal of the DERMaL eToolkit is to provide informational resources and tools associated with dermal exposures to chemicals. The resources and tools are intended to be used to assist in assessing the hazards associated with dermal contact with chemicals during emergency response activities. The DERMaL eToolkit is organized by 1) incident phase, 2) information categories, and 3) resource types.

A Guide to Chemical Hazard Symbols | Compound Interest

From www.compoundchem.com - May 2, 2017 5:29 AM

Back to some chemistry basics for today’s post, with a look at the nine different hazard symbols commonly used to warn of chemical dangers. These symbols are frequently encountered in the lab – and also on some household products – and whilst some are self-explanatory, others can require a little more in the way of explanation, which is what this graphic aims to do.
