NIOSH Pocket Guide
to Chemical Hazards
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2005-149
Exposure limits, Respirator Recommendations, First Aid,
more...
The Pocket Guide is a source of general industrial hygiene information
on several
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.
