Monona,

Even though GHS is really good, the reality is that NFPA and HMIS labels are easier for the common worker. If you are standing in a manufacturing plant looking at drums and totes of chemicals, then NFPA and HIMS labels are simply easier to read. Some employers choose to add an NFPA or HMIS label to their containers on arrival.

I'm personally partial to HMIS labels because it includes a letter for the PPE type required. This is a good reminder for people like myself who run different types of tests with a wide range of chemicals and therefore wide range of risks.

Thank you,

Re: What is happening to the GHS SDS?

I'm hoping someone can tell my why, after we finally have a good system of describing acute and chronic toxicity with the GHS dose-response Categories, I'm suddenly seeing the misleading dumb old HMIS one number toxicity system showing up even on the new Sigma SDS for Cyrene.

This is really depressing.
