Identify High Hazard Chemicals at Your Facility
By: Arthur Mahoney, M.S., CHMM, REA
September 30, 2008
Have you wondered which chemicals at your facility pose the
highest hazard and need special controls because they could be used
to make a controlled substance, be sought by a terrorist, or cause a
fire or explosion or poisoning at your facility from an accidental
spill or mishap?
How are you currently identifying these high hazard chemicals in
your inventory?
When chemicals become newly regulated are you able to find them at
your facility? At many institutions the job falls on an EHS staff
member to visually inspect a facility's inventory against lists of
regulated chemicals. More often than not many chemicals are missed.
To assist you in this screening process, we are offering a valuable
new service: reports of high-hazard chemicals which are in your
inventory. You provide us your chemical inventory and we provide you
a list of chemicals in your inventory which are regulated. We can
then assist you with identifying any additional controls needed to
make sure these chemicals are safely and legally managed.

the over 1500 regulated chemicals.
