Tier 2 banding is also incorporated into the NIOSH OEB e-tool but can take hours instead of minutes to complete for a given chemical. However, the resulting band is considered more robust than a Tier 1 band due to the in-depth retrieval of published data. [7] NIOSH recommends users complete at least the Tier 2 process to produce reliable OEBs.
[1] There are three levels of PAC value (1 to 3) where each successive value is associated with an increasingly severe effect from a higher level of exposure. Each level is defined as follows: PAC-1 : Mild, transient health effects. PAC-2 : Irreversible or other serious health effects that could impair the ability to take protective action.
Series 5 tests are used to determine if an article can be assigned to HD1.5 'Very Insensitive Explosive'; series 6 tests are used to determine the classification of an article within Hazard Divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4; and series 7 tests are used to determine if an article can be assigned to HD 1.6 as an article containing predominantly ...

The anticipate, recognize, evaluate, control, and confirm (ARECC) decision-making framework began as recognize, evaluate, and control.In 1994 then-president of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Harry Ettinger added the anticipate step to formally convey the duty and opportunity of the worker protection community to proactively apply its growing body of knowledge and experience ...
1.2 Explosives with a severe projection hazard. 1.3 Explosives with a fire, blast or projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard. 1.4 Minor fire or projection hazard (includes ammunition and most consumer fireworks). 1.5 An insensitive substance with a mass explosion hazard (explosion similar to 1.1) 1.6 Extremely insensitive articles.
The pictogram for harmful substances of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.. The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is an internationally agreed-upon standard managed by the United Nations that was set up to replace the assortment of hazardous material classification and labelling schemes previously used around ...
Chemical hazards: Ex. vapors and fumes, pesticides, flammable liquids; Work organization hazards: Ex. workload demands, job stress, lack of respect; Mechanism of injury. Mechanism of injury (MOI) is the means by which an injury occurs. [2] It is important because in the absence of an MoI there is no hazard. Common mechanisms of injury are ...
