Does the identification number 60 indicate a toxic substance or a flammable solid, in the molten state at an elevated temperature? Does the identification number 1035 indicate ethane or butane? What is the difference between natural gas transmission pipelines and natural gas distribution pipelines? If you came upon an overturned truck on the highway that was leaking, would you be able to identify if it was hazardous and know what steps to take? Questions like these and more are answered in the Emergency Response Guidebook. Learn how to identify symbols for and vehicles carrying toxic, flammable, explosive, radioactive, or otherwise harmful substances and how to respond once an incident involving those substances has been identified. Always be prepared in situations that are unfamiliar and dangerous and know how to rectify them. Keeping this guide around at all times will ensure that, if you were to come upon a transportation situation involving hazardous substances or dangerous goods, you will be able to help keep others and yourself out of danger. With color-coded pages for quick and easy reference, this is the official manual used by first responders in the United States and Canada for transportation incidents involving dangerous goods or hazardous materials.
The NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards presents information taken from the NIOSH/OSHA Occupational Health Guidelines for Chemical Hazards, from National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) criteria documents and Current Intelligence Bulletins, and from recognized references in the fields of industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, toxicology, and analytical chemistry. The information is presented in tabular form to provide a quick, convenient source of information on general industrial hygiene practices. The information in the Pocket Guide includes chemical structures or formulas, identification codes, synonyms, exposure limits, chemical and physical properties, incompatibilities and reactivities, measurement methods, respirator selections, signs and symptoms of exposure, and procedures for emergency treatment.
A noted expert offers a guide to the complex chemical regulations in the Middle East region Chemical Regulation in the Middle East offers an essential guide to the patchwork of chemical regulatory programs and the complex system of permits and licenses that manage chemicals in the countries of the Middle East.

Hazardous Chemical Regulations Database is a unique database that contains regulatory information for over 500 chemicals. The regulatory information that applies to each chemical is derived from seven major regulatory groups of standards, including the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation & Liability Act (CERCLA) and Superfund Ammendment & Reauthorization Act (SARA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA), Worker Exposure Information, and other information. The database is available on 3-1/2" and 5-1/4" diskettes and can be used on IBM or IBM-compatible equipment. Chemical manufacturers, chemical formulators, environmental engineers, environmental chemists, industrial hygienists, toxicologists, lawyers, and federal and state regulators should consider Hazardous Chemical Regulations Database essential in order to stay abreast of the latest regulatory information affecting hazardous chemicals. INFORMATION PROVIDED for EACH REGULATORY GROUP OF STANDARDS Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This includes chemicals regulated using TCLP or P and U waste or that are on EPA's Appendix 8 or Appendix 9 (groundwater) Lists. EPA method numbers are referenced for the Appendix 9 compounds. Also RCRA treatment standards are provided including Restricted Waste Numbers, and Permissible Constituent Concentrations in waste extracts and in wastes. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA) These include Final Reportable Quantities, Threshold Planning Quantities, Statutory Reportable Quantities, and Title III Section 313 hazardous chemicals with their reportable De minimus percents. Clean Water Act (CWA) This includes industrial wastewaters with chemicals defined as "toxic pollutants", "conventional pollutants", and/or "priority pollutants". Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) This includes chemicals listed in the 1986/1988 standard, the 1991 Second Triennial List, National Secondary Drinking Water (NSDW) regulations, or the National Primary Drinking Water (NPDW) regulations (the latter includes both current and future NPDW standards with Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) and MCL Goals). 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) This includes "40 CFR Part 61" hazardous air pollutants and National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards (the latter includes both primary and secondary standards with annual or hourly average permissible concentrations). It also includes the 1990 Title 3 Hazardous Air Pollutants. Worker Exposure Information This includes the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) ratings (for health, flammability, and reactivity), carcinogenicity (as defined by listings in the NTP 5th Annual Report or an 1ARC monograph), OSHA federally enforceable exposure limits, and the America Conference of Governmental Industrial hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs). Other Information This includes notations for state regulated chemicals for Massachusetts, New Jersey and California (Proposition 65 chemicals exhibiting reproductive toxicity or cancer causing properties), Canada's Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (WHMIS) minimum percentage concentration levels for regulation, and the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) identification number for shipping regulated substances.
The U.S. Department of State charged the Academies with the task of producing a protocol for development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) that would serve as a complement to the Chemical Laboratory Safety and Security: A Guide to Prudent Chemical Management and be included with the other materials in the 2010 toolkit. To accomplish this task, a committee with experience and knowledge in good chemical safety and security practices in academic and industrial laboratories with awareness of international standards and regulations was formed. The hope is that this toolkit expansion product will enhance the use of the previous reference book and the accompanying toolkit, especially in developing countries where safety resources are scarce and experience of operators and end-users may be limited.
This code of practice provides guidance on extablishing a systematic approach to safety in the use of chemicals at work. Intended for all those engaged in framing provisions, its recommendations are designed to ensure an efficient flow of information from manufacturers to users.
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) addresses classification and labelling of chemicals by types of hazards. It provides the basis for worldwide harmonization of rules and regulations on chemicals and aims at enhancing the protection of human health and the environment during their handling, transport and use by ensuring that the information about their physical, health and environmental hazards is available. The sixth revised edition includes, inter alia, a new hazard class for desensitized explosives and a new hazard category for pyrophoric gases; miscellaneous amendments intended to further clarify the criteria for some hazard classes (explosives, specific target organ toxicity following single exposure, aspiration hazard, and hazardous to the aquatic environment) and to complement the information to be included in section 9 of the Safety Data Sheet; revised and further rationalized precautionary statements; and an example of labelling of a small packaging in Annex 7.
Since its inception in the early 1950s, this work has become the "bible" for those who need to evaluate the hazard of substances used in commerce. It is the only reference that combines, for so many substances, data on toxicological, fire, reactivity, explosive potential, and regulatory information. Highly acclaimed in the professional journals, it was reviewed as "an indispensable reference guide for professionals responsible for managing industrial safety and occupational exposure...an extraordinary work," and as "a monumental work...Efforts like this are the things of what history is made," among other reviews.
