Chemical Safety Data Sheets - ICSC 2.2

Easy access to safety information is important in any workplace. This application provides an efficient way to review International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSC) produced by reputable organizations like the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Labour Office (ILO), and the World Health Organization (WHO).

ICSCs are concise summaries of essential health and safety information for various chemicals. These cards are specifically designed for workers and employers in factories, agriculture, construction, and other work environments.

Unlike Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which can be lengthy and complex, ICSCs present peer-reviewed information in a standardized and simplified format on one or two-page documents. This makes them more accessible and practical for day-to-day use.

Users can utilize this app to enhance occupational health and safety by referencing ICSCs alongside MSDS when working with applicable chemicals. It also serves as a valuable resource when MSDS documents are unavailable.

To further assist users, the app includes additional resources like the NIOSH Chemical Hazards Pocket Guide (NPG), which provides comprehensive information on respirator recommendations, physical properties, and hygiene.

The app offers several useful features, including a fully indexed and searchable chemical list, a history of previously viewed chemicals, the ability to mark and view favorites, and filters for specific sectors like oilfield, construction, EPA, and OSHA chemicals.

Furthermore, the app allows users to email and print information (requires iOS 4.2 or later and an airprint compatible printer or a properly set up shared network printer).

This app provides a practical solution for accessing crucial safety information in a user-friendly format without requiring an internet connection.
