hundred chemicals/classes found in the work environment. Key data provided for
each chemical/substance includes name (including synonyms/trade names), structure/formula,
CAS/RTECS Numbers, DOT ID, conversion factors, exposure limits, IDLH, chemical
and physical properties, measurement methods, personal protection, respirator
recommendations, symptoms, and first aid.
International Chemical Safety Cards
An ICSC summarizes essential
health and safety information on chemicals for their use at the "shop floor" level
by workers and employers in factories, agriculture, construction and
other work places.
Documentation for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations
(IDLH)
The IDLH documents the criteria and
information sources that have been used by NIOSH to determine immediately
dangerous to life or health concentrations.
NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods (NMAM)
NMAM is a collection of methods for
sampling and analysis of contaminants in workplace air, and in the blood
and urine of workers who are occupationally exposed.
