* HAZARD, RISK & SAFETY:
In 1991, for EXPORT orders, company introduced,
Risk & Safety Phrases
U.N. Hazard Classifications
Chemical Abstract Services (CAS) Registry Numbers
Storage Temperature &
Flash Point........on labels.
The statutory requirements under Export Obligation was displayed on labels and same was introduced for Indian market as a commitment to our NATION under AWARENESS programme.
In 1995, significant development was in the chemical field with most of the colour coded systems introduced and displayed on labels (like Health, Flammability, Reactivity etc.) by manufacturers in USA and European countries. Company dedicated to safety and adopted HMIG, along with coloured hazard symbols on labels and started framing MSDS for most of its products.
* HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION GUIDE (HMIG):
HMIG communicates Hazard information through the use of colour, numbers, letters of alphabets & symbols. In this system Health (Blue), Flammability (Red), and Reactivity (yellow) are coded with colours and numbers, where as personal protective equipment (white) is with letter of alphabets and symbols.
A unique system developed in USA by various VOLUNTARY ORGANISATIONS since 1994 and was accepted in USA and Europe (Since 1998) and made compulsory to display on products. We opted our moral RESPONSIBILITY under AWARENESS, to introduce the system as it is easy to IDENTIFY by mass uneducated workmen in developing countries like India and others.
