Abstract |
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) stocks over 1400 chemicals, most of which have toxic properties. A system using cards has been developed to inform users of hazards of each material and to facilitate workplace surveillance during its use. Hazard data and spill notification message are printed on the card, which has a label which is detached and fixed to the container. The label classifies the material according to toxicity, flammability, reactivity, and special properties. |
