Subject: [DCHAS-L] Assessing and predicting the health hazards of newly synthesized compounds for the development of SDSs.
Greetings:
What do others do to assess, predict and assign an OSHA 2012 health hazard classification to a newly synthesize compound develop by your
home institution when you are required to develop a SDS?
I'm not so concerned about assessing the hazards of mixtures of known chemicals but concerned more about new compounds, where the new
compound has no history of a health hazard evaluation and where using the precursor chemicals is not as reliable predictor of its health hazards/toxicity.
Does anyone use a toxicologist to review the chemical structure of the new compound to predict and present their "best judgment" regarding
the health hazard classifications?
Sincerely,
Steve Rupkey, CIH
