> > what chemical labelling system they use in labs and stockrooms, > particularly with regard to safety diagrams and pictograms. My experience is that one labelling system doesn't fit all the various audiences interested in the information. Emergency responders have very different interests in chemicals than people in laboratories. We've focused on the laboratorians' needs for container labelling and emergency responders' needs through a homemade online system somewhat similar to the NFPA system. The latter is still in development, but the general idea (similar to Stanford's Chemtracker system) is to take information from laboratory workers and convert it into something useful for emergency planning purposes. Do you have a clear sense of which audience you're working to inform? - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu fax: (802)656-8682
