Hazardous registers
Posted: 22 Oct 2013, 14:09
Hello
For those of you who do inventories for the whole school, how are you dealing with your hazardous register now we are using GHS. I have found many products which have previously been listed as non-hazardous, non-dangerous, now have a GHS warning. eg: acrylic paint as found in the maintenence shed. Because there are so many tins there, I have previously printed one general SDS to cover all of them. However, just looking up 2 randomly on Chemfxx today I find one has a Warning due to possible respiratory effects and the other Danger serious eye damage. They are both still listed as non hazardous and non-dangerous and for the 2nd one the manufacturers SDS is from 2009 so doesnt have any wanrings!
So my question is, do we have to include items like these on our hazardous register because of their GHS category? I am not finding many things which don't have at least a warning.
Hope someone can help me??
