Based in part on customer input, NIOSH combined the MSHA and OSHA versions of the HazCom Helper into one easy-to-use tool. This tool, the HazComWriter, is more robust than its predecessors and features a new sort utility, storage of the chemical list (Appendix A) in an Excel format, and easy to use menus. The document produced by the HazComWriter software will satisfy both MSHA and OSHA requirements for a "written hazardous communication document."

New Features in 3.1.2:

• Fixes a bug to correct printing of the chemicals after sorting by column in the Chemical List dialog.
• Fixes printing bug to allow use of printers beside default printer.
• Field heading correction in Chemical List dialog: "Case Number" replaced with "CAS No."
