.....should I get simmerstat or thermostat controls? It is mainly used for agar and heating solutions that will disolve better heated. We have the IEC thermostat hot plate for the prep room and Simmerstats for the classrooms. You can use either but I find the thermostat one is better for making up ...

Are you a DoE school ? If so might pay to hang off until the new CSIS comes out ..... so I'm tol

Despite the excitement of realizing I don't have to do anymore labelling (According to Alan Smith ) ,I discovered today that the labels I had already put on all the Hydrochloric acid containers has the wrong GHS symbols on it . A Scull and cross bones and a Corrosive . It should be a Corrosion and a...

Absolutely Narelle...I am not suggesting my gossip is gospel . Just a heads up not to throw the kits out just yet. As far as the Talc goes , I'm kinda with you about assumptions Merilyn .......but I don't think Alan would have flippantly suggested what he did if he felt there was any serious risk. A...

Last week at SLAMN Alan Smith mentioned the Mohs hardness kits sayng that they had tested several different ones and they all were asbestos free . He said we could use our existing Mohs kits again . When asked about our Talc samples , he sad that they would be fine to use also and that they would ha...

CSIS bans any explosions

.... if any one going to the SLAMN conference hears anything definitive about what we are supposed to be doing about this ##@$%$# labelling mess, can they please pass on the info. Well from what I undestood Alan said was ... suprise suprise .... we don't need to label anything until advised next ye...

LOL , I was booked to stay at Belle vista ....just found about an hour ago that its had a serious plumbing issue and me and a third of the guests are being relocated . Hope the rest of the trip is OK ....Looking forward to it .

As well as Xmas , so is the last few weeks we have to do all the relabeling . Do you all not think it somewhat strange that the dept has not sent out any curcular to tell us we need to . I know a couple of Labbies that say they won't until they are told to. Can't wait to here Alans talk on the new C...

Chemwatch seems to have ironed out a few bugs in their data base as hoped would happen when they switched to a new server .

Ammonium Thiocyanate and Ammonium Molybdate now print the correct Signal word and GHS symbols on labels .

The whole site seems a little faster and stable

Thanks Louise . Had a look around for a CD but couldn't find one but as Narelle just said , won't work on new computers. Surprising its not downloadable from the CSIS online . Since I've been here we have had everything on Chemwatch . We don't have any MSDS printed out as Everyone seems to think its...

What are C1/C2 forms ?
This the first I have heard of them

We have two bottles of it in the Store room .
I haven't seen anyone ask for it ever since I've been here .
I asked at recess who uses it and why and nobody knew.

Yeah it stinks , not so sure about the rotton milk .
To me it smells like fish but with a strong ammonia smell ....that's probably the pissy nappy smell

Its a bit strange here too . I'm not getting what you are though.

Printing a Label from a Chemgold MSDS works fine but can't print labels from Vendor MSDS...just a box saying Chemwatch haven't assessed them or the likes .Tried many and all the same

Yes we have it
Manganese (IV)oxide = Manganese Dioxide is Yr7-12

Manganese(VII) Oxide = Manganese heptoxide is banded according to my hardcopy of CSIS

If you are throwing the image straight to a Data projector then the resolution does not need to be very high . Consider that most schools still have 600 x 800 resolution projectors ...that's just under 0.5 Mega pixals Even a HD projector with a 1080 x 1920 resolution will be a fraction over 2 Mega p...

Thanks :thumbup: Looks like we might give the Tork stuff ago as OfficeMax is our normal purchase place for this type of stuff . Interesting point about WHS aspect and being an administrative funded product ...never thought of that , will check who pays for it .....this is not my area but my offsider...

My off sider is distressed because he can't buy the paper towel he has always had .( bought the last 50 rolls many years ago)

So we got some from Office max to trial and now they don't stock that type .

Wondering what you all use and were you buy it , product codes ?
