Hi all--
I'm sorry, but we've been having technical difficulties with our computer
systems this morning (& it seems to be periodically affecting the website
as well). The product # is 132454.

Re: [DCHAS-L] GHS on (M)SDS
Hi Beth,
I was unable to get the link below to reach a page that had any meaning.
I did find this one, but it doesn’t seem to explain the information you
describe:
http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/safety-center/globally-harmonized.html
Could you resend your link?
Thanks,
-Russ

GHS is still not law in the US, so Sigma-Aldrich must also meet the
requirements of OSHA's Haz. Comm. Std., which is US law. Please see the
Sigma-Aldrich MSDS for 4,4'-Methylenedianiline as an example of why the
carcinogenic data is formatted this way.

Re: [DCHAS-L] GHS on (M)SDS
Yes, Sigma-Aldrich uses most of the GHS SDS form, but still reverts to the
"Not listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP & OSHA" kind of statement instead
of the GHS system that only allows the statement "no data available."

I'm curious if people have been noticing Globally Harmonized System style
hazard communication information showing up in the laboratory chemical
world. I'm thinking in terms of labels, safety data sheets, technical
bulletins, etc. I looked at two Sigma/Aldrich MSDS's from the web and one
from 2010 used the system and one from 2004 that didn't. I wonder what
percent of the lab world is seeing this information and is aware of this
change at this point?
Any observations or comments would be appreciated.

P.S. Anyone who'd like a good primer on the GHS system in the lab context,
as well as many lab safety subjects, would do well to pick up
