Reach for assistance
February 1st 2007 The Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals Regulations (REACH) come into force later this year. They require all manufacturers and suppliers who deal with chemicals to share all important safety information with customers and chemical users right down the supply chain to the user. To assist in this process, Environmental Science has introduced a Workplace Action Safety Protection (WASP) sheet. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) effectively communicate chemical hazards to most chemical industry professionals. However, Environmental Science believes such sheets become woefully inadequate to most people who use, ship or other wise handle chemicals as they are written in technical language. The company's WASP sheet is designed to plug the gap between scientifically expressed SDS and most of the workforce. It works by using software to extract key information from the SDS (CHIP Classification, Risk Phrases, and other important data) and presents this on a single-page WASPS document in a simple and highly visual graphical format that has been designed to be easily assimilated and understood. WASP sheets can be produced in less then 5min . More articles from Environmental Science Limited: |
