same here fibreweb. I have removed the sodium hydroxides and the sulfuric acids and am just left with indicators and under 1m solutions.

does that mean the smaller solution bottles need to be in class group and alphabetical order as well or just alphabetical group will do?

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know whether diluted chemicals from 0.01 to 1M chemicals can be stored in alphabetical order or do I have to follow the the concentrated powder & liquid (bulk) storage zones?

Thanks Superbug

I checked it in NSW and the cleaning shelves were empty here. I asked the store manager and was told they dont carry that line anymore. they couldnt even suggest anything similar in the store.

we use Borax in the plastic container with a red lid. it says "wards Mckenzies" but if you type in harpers borax it takes you to the same place. we use it for experiments. Not sure what or that pascoes makes the powered borax.

I went through this last year. no new product they are just not selling it any more at woolies and coles. Maybe the borax company didnt want to pay the very high price to keep their product on the shelf at these 2 stores. I went to the manufacturers website and had a look around as to where I can pu...

yes thats correct! It is not allowed.

we use shaving foam or hair mousse.

Hi Krysia Lee,

mini sds's need to be in colour as they are colour coded up the top.
but supplier sds's dont need to be as they are usually black and white except for the letterhead.

so it depends on what you are using. I hope that helps you.

Is that why when I print out hydrochloric acid 0.1M, I see a blank page under the chemwatch GHS 14 labels. is that because it hasnt been updated/completed?

Hi Jamie, I am in the same boat as you. NO colour printer. But I am working on it. I am told in the holidays i will be getting a printer. will see. at the moment I am having to print to a colour printer in admin. which is far away. we are not aloud to use the colour photocopier only printer. if we u...

we use clear contact here to stick the labels on. I understand everything you have said above except "risk phrase numbers"
Can someone please explain!

Thanks Superbug

yes they have put them as a pdf on chemwatch, which is useless!

I am not asking about the sticky labels that we can buy but the info on chemical solutions such as first aid etc, that are required by law on each bottle.
Surely there has to be an easier way then what Sunray 18 did. which was to go through all her individual labels and modify them herself.

wow that sounds like a huge job Sunray18. I am shaking in my boots just thinking of the mammoth task ahead.

Hi Everyone, I got a cd "chemical label Maker V5" from omega scientific which is not GHS (no Pics). I was wondering how people make there own GHS chemical labels. Do you all use chemwatch labels or is there something better out there? I would like to relabel all our chemicals as I have a b...

Yes I had the same issue!

Hi Tuesday suits me. Thanks for trying to organise something for us

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to buy preserved specimens such as a cows eyeball, starfish etc already in a proper sealed specimen container with liquid?

I hope so, as I couldn't do it myself on the account of me being squeamish.

Thanks Superbug

We get ours from the local butcher as well for free. Or there is the abbatoirs where we got them for free as well.
