Worker-Inspired Safer Chemicals Database Launched
Workers
wanting safer workplaces now have a new tool to help them: the ChemHAT
(Chemical Hazard and Alternatives Toolkit) database. The free, online
database was designed in consultation with workers who deal with
hazardous chemicals every day. The ChemHAT database allows workers to
quickly search 10,000 commonly used chemicals and see their acute and
chronic health effects. In the near future, the database will provide
the ability for users to identify safer alternatives to the chemicals
they are using. The BlueGreen Alliance will host a webinar on the
ChemHAT database on September, 25, 2012 at 12:30 p.m. EDT, the webinar
registration link is below.
