Simplified labelling of laboratory containers The DGUV has developed a simplified system for storage bottles in laboratories, taking into account the new labelling system in line with the CLP regulation. DGUV The BG RCI-Expertise Portal Topic List With information about Biological agents First aid Hazardous Substances Laboratories BAuA Topics from A to Z BAuA With Information about • Ambient Intelligence • Biological Agents • Chemicals / REACH / Biocides • Construction Sites, Construction Site Ordinance • Demographic Change • Economics of Health and Safety at Work • Electromagnetic Fields • Employability • Evidence-based Medicine • Hazardous Substances • Joint German Occupational Safety and Health Strategy (GDA) • Nanotechnology • New Quality of Work Initiative (INQA) • Noise and Acoustics • Occupational Diseases • Policy Advice • Presenteeism • Restructuring • Vibrations • Working Conditions • Working Time • Workplaces New labels for chemical products – do you know what they mean? European Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures came into force on 20 January 2009 in all EU Member States, including the UK. It is known by its abbreviated form, ‘ the CLP Regulation’ or just plain ‘CLP’. The CLP Regulation adopts the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System on the classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS) across all European Union countries, including the UK. With a new pocket card reminder of the new CLP label pictograms, you can make sure that you can always understand the label. The GHS/CLP Memo card includes all the new CLP pictograms, together with simple, concise information and advice. Sized to fit easily in your pocket or your wallet, ready for whenever you need it. List of MAK and BAT Values 2015: Maximum Concentrations and Biological Tolerance Values at the Workplace MAK and BAT Values Further Revised Documents List of MAK and BAT Values 2014: Maximum Concentrations and Biological Tolerance Values at the Workplace MAK values (Maximum Concentrations at the Workplace) and BAT values (Biological Tolerance Values) promote the protection of health at the workplace. They are an efficient indicator for the toxic potential of chemical compounds. The German List of MAK and BAT Values 2014 contains a list of scientifically recommended threshold limit values for more than 1000 chemical compounds. Carcinogens, germ cell mutagens, embryo toxicants, sensitizing substances and those potentially bearing a risk to pregnancy are treated separately. Of particular value are the lists of substances which were reviewed in the past 12 months, including substances being examined for the establishment of MAK and BAT values in coming years. Single Chapters Entire List The MAK-Collection for Occupational Health and Safety Comprehensive, authoritative:The nearly 3,000 publications by the Permanent Senate Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area (German MAK-Commission) provide essential information on hazardous compounds at the workplace. Threshold values and classifications for more than 1,000 substances are given, along with toxicological evaluations and recommended monitoring methods. The MAK-Collection is regularly updated with new information. Free use for everyone, everywhere:The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) supports global open access to the online editions of the complete publications of the MAK Commission in English and in German language on Wiley Online Library, including all future updates and additions. The MAK-Collection combines four individual series in two languages The online edition of the MAK-Collection includes the publications of four serial publications in two languages, English and German: 1. MAK Value Documentations / Gesundheitsschädliche Arbeitsstoffe. Toxikologisch-arbeitsmedizinische Begründungen von MAK-Werten und Einstufungen. 2. BAT Value Documentations / Biologische Arbeitsstoff-Toleranz-Werte, Expositionsäquivalente für krebserzeugende Arbeitsstoffe, Biologische Leitwerte und Biologische Arbeitsstoff-Referenzwerte. Arbeitsmedizinisch-toxikologische Begründungen. 3. Air Monitoring Methods / Analytische Methoden zur Prüfung gesundheitsschädlicher Arbeitsstoffe. Luftanalysen. 4. Biomonitoring Methods / Analytische Methoden zur Prüfung gesundheitsschädlicher Arbeitsstoffe. Analysen in biologischem Material. All substance-specific documents can be browsed via the substance name. Substance names include metabolites where appropriate and are grouped by series and by language. Within each category, documents are listed in chronological order. For easier reference, series name and publication year are included in the title, e.g. Acetone [MAK Value Documentation, 1996]. Where applicable, a Substance Overview document is provided that contains a summary of important substance parameters, including toxicological classifications and threshold values set by the commission. Publications on general topics and supporting information can be found under the headings General Information and Supplementary Information. A versatile product search aids retrieval of the information. Substance names in English or German, including synonyms, and CAS numbers may all be used to locate articles of interest. Articles which are relevant for more than one substance include a link list to other relevant substances at the bottom of the article. In addition to the html documents for online viewing, printable pdf documents in the same layout as in the printed editions are available for all articles. MAK Documentations GESTIS-database on hazardous substances Information system on hazardous substances of the German Social Accident Insurance The GESTIS-Substance Database contains information for the safe handling of hazardous substances and other chemical substances at work, e.g. health effects, necessary protective measures and such in case of danger (incl. First Aid). Furthermore, the user is offered information upon important physical and chemical properties as well as special regulations e.g. GHS classification and labelling according to CLP regulation (pictograms, H phrases, P phrases) and according to the old system (hazard symbols, R phrases). The available information relates to about 8,500 substances. Data is updated immediately after publication of new official regulations or after the issue of new scientific results in the end. Publisher The GESTIS-Substance Database is maintained by the Institut für Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (IFA, Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance). The GESTIS database information on occupational medicine and first aid is compiled by Prof. Dr. Heberer and his team (TOXICHEM, Leuna). Use and Liability The information may be used for the purpose of workers’ protection, or to gain knowledge about risks emanating from chemical substances.
