Re: Another GHS question...

This topic is sure getting tricky!! By "brought into use" does he mean the minute it's out of the storeroom to be used......? If that's the case, then it needs to re-labelled, doesn't it, because if it's in the store and never comes out it means we don't use it, which means it doesn't need...

We do a similar investigation with pond plants (which I buy from the pet shop) and hydrogen carbonate indicator (which is easy to make). Keeps the cost down!

Re: Is borax really a teacher only chemical?

I noticed this on RiskAssess today....seems the solid is teacher only and the dilute solution we use for making slime is OK for students in Yr 11 and 12.
The juniors are going to be cross!!
