NIOSH POCKET GUIDE TO CHEMICAL HAZARDS
The NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards is intended as a source
of general industrial hygiene information for workers, employers,
and occupational health professionals. The guide presents key
information and data in abbreviated tabular form for 677 chemicals
or substance groupings (e.g., manganese compounds, tellurium
compounds, and inorganic tin compounds) that are found in the work
environment. Industrial hygiene information found in the guide helps
users recognize and control occupational chemical hazards. The
chemicals or
substances contained in this revision include all substances for
which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
has recommended exposure limits and those with permissible exposure
limits as found in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) General Industry Air Contaminants Standard (29 CFR
§1910.1000). The guide includes the following:
- Chemical names, synonyms, trade names, conversion factors, CAS,
RTECS, and DOT ID and guide numbers
- Recommended exposure limits
- Permissible exposure limits
- Immediate dangerous to life and health values
- A physical description of the agent with chemical and physical
properties
- Measurement methods
- Personal protection and sanitation recommendations
- Respirator recommendations
- Health hazards including route, symptoms, first aid, and target
organ information.
