- Description (e.g. Gas, Liquid, Solid, Vapour)
- Assessor
- Nature of Hazard (Yes / No)
- Irritant / Harmful?
- Corrosive?
- Oxidizing?
- Environmental Hazard?
- Toxic?
- Flammable?
- Explosive?
- Degree of Harm (None / Low / Medium / High)
- Eyes
- Inhalation
- Mouth
- Skin
- Burn
- Allergy
- Health Surveillance Required (Yes / No)
- Skin
- Respiratory
- PPE Required
- Eye Protection (e.g. Safety Glasses)
- Mask (e.g. For dust or fumes)
- Gloves (e.g. Polyethylene Gloves)
- Full Body Protection (Overalls)
- Specific Precautions (e.g. General: Use only in well ventilated areas)
The system provides a search facility that allows the user to find and preview a Hazardous Material Summary Sheet – the system produces a dynamic MS Word Document that can be either saved or printed.
