400ish Chemicals have now been uploaded to Chemwatch and Mini SDS printed in colour and bound

Re-labelling has been an interesting exercise. The GHS rating Chemwatch puts on things is vastly different to Riskassess. As we subscribe to Riskassess and it is what the teachers are basing their risk assessments on, I figure that is the option I am going with.bigmack wrote: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 an Exclamation mark .
Has anyone else noticed this ?
So Chemwatch must have been having a spack the day I did them and now I will have to relabel them
Kinda makes be worry how many others I relabeld might be wrong
I agree Lorikeet. I've cut nearly all ties with Chemwatch. The major problem is that it is not designed for schools and the piddling little amounts we put in tiny bottles. I've been really happy with the Riskassess labels - not always perfect, but just simple. I use my own spreadsheet for our chemical register, just so much easier to design it the way I want it in a format non-science people can understand.Lorikeet wrote: Good luck if you persist ... more willpower than me
