| Abstract |
Documentation of chemical hazards is created by so many different processes, in so many different organisations, that all parties to the hazard communication process (regulators, manufacturers and users of chemical products) are unsure of the value of the information contained in chemical safety data sheets. Personnel in most of the organisations surveyed for this report were unfamiliar with quality assurance terminology and principles, even though the regulations and guidelines published by some of the organisations did in fact reflect those principles. International standards for quality assurance exist, in the series ISO 9000. General recognition and application of these standards would facilitate the exchange of data, especially through national and international product registers. Attached to this report are two examples of guidelines for documenting chemical hazards of products for use in the Norwegian offshore petroleum industry. |
