This unique handbook provides operators and technicians in the
metalworking, machining, and metal finishing industries with an
easy-to-use, single-volume guide to the hazardous materials commonly
found in the above sectors. Containing detailed information on nearly
450 chemical hazards, this work provides identifiers (foreign and
domestic); trade names and chemical synonyms; physical properties;
short- and long-term health effects; guidelines for exposure;
respirators; warnings; incompatibilities; fire data; and OSHA, EPA,
California, and Canadian safety recommendations and regulations. No
other reference offers this kind of integrated compilation of safety and
environmental compliance data or directory information related to these
industries. You will need no other reference!
- Includes an extensive introduction outlining and explaining the
requirements and regulations.
- Presents each chemical record in a uniform format of data elements,
including record number, record name, trade names and chemical
synonyms, EEC numbers, CAS number, 2004 Emergency Response Guidebook
four-digit ID, DOT Hazard class or Division, three-digit ERG Guide,
molecular formula, RTECS number, physical properties, and health and
safety information.
- Contains extensive appendices including: sources of information,
separate lists of dangerous oxidizing materials by name and CAS
number, an updated list of all Poison Control Centers in the U.S.,
glossary of safety and environmental terms, extensive synonym and
trade name index, and a complete CAS number index to chemicals
covered.
- Takes an international approach in that chemical records contain:
European Economic Community ID numbers, European Inventory of Existing
Commercial Substances ID numbers, Canadian WHMIS ingredients
disclosure list levels, International Agency for Research on Cancer
information about carcinogens, and MAK values from Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinshaft.
- Covers important metalworking hazards such as mineral oil mists and
welding fumes.
