Abstract

For large industrial and research operations, maintaining reasonable control of all toxic materials used in their operations can be a formidable task. A system utilizing cards has been developed which serves a dual purpose, informing the user regarding hazards of a particular material and also facilitating appropriate workplace surveillance during its use. Selected hazard data and spill notification message, if applicable, are printed on the card. The card contains a label which the user detaches and affixes to the container. This label classifies the material according to toxicity, flammability, reactivity, special properties on a 0 through 4 hazard rating, and spill message if needed to comply with environmental requirements.
