Database Management Systems The NIOSH Web site features many different types of databases and information resources. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/data/ The BLS also compiles statistical data regarding safety and health. http://www.bls.gov/bls/safety.htm

Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)), revised in 2012, requires that the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or importer provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs or Material Safety Data Sheets) for each hazardous chemical to downstream users to communicate information on these hazards. The information contained in the SDS is largely the same as the MSDS, except the SDSs are required to be presented in a consistent user-friendly, 16-section format. https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3514.html

Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets The SDS includes information such as the properties of each chemical; the physical, health, and environmental health hazards; protective measures; and safety precautions for handling, storing, and transporting the chemical. The information contained in the SDS must be in English (although it may be in other languages as well). In addition, OSHA requires that SDS preparers provide specific minimum information as detailed in Appendix D of 29 CFR 1910.1200. The SDS preparers may also include additional information in various section(s).

Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets Sections 1 through 8 contain general information about the chemical, identification, hazards, composition, safe handling practices, and emergency control measures (e.g., fire fighting). This information should be helpful to those that need to get the information quickly.

Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets Sections 9 through 11 and 16 contain other technical and scientific information, such as physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity information, toxicological information, exposure control information, and other information including the date of preparation or last revision. The SDS must also state that no applicable information was found when the preparer does not find relevant information for any required element.

Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets The SDS must also contain Sections 12 through 15, to be consistent with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), but OSHA will not enforce the content of these sections because they concern matters handled by other agencies.

Globally Harmonized System Modification of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform with the United Nations' (UN) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) https://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/hazcom-faq.html

Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) Help maintenance workers do their jobs more effectively (for example, determining which storerooms contain the spare parts they need) Help management make informed decisions (for example, calculating the cost of maintenance for each piece of equipment used by the organization, possibly leading to better allocation of resources) The information may also be useful when dealing with third parties; if, for example, an organization is involved in a liability case, the data in a CMMS database can serve as evidence that proper safety maintenance has been performed.

Computer Modeling Behavior of physical phenomena, people, and other entities The model accuracy depends on: The availability of accurate data The inclusion of factors that affect the phenomenon Adequate representation in the mathematical manipulations
