CHRIS data base

The handbook provides ready information on the fire and chemical reactivity of commonly used chemicals. Its purpose is to provide basic information important to the safe handling of chemicals and to help provide guidance in responding to a hazardous materials incident, in particular, incidents involving reactive chemicals and materials posing fire and explosion hazards. The data and information on each chemical have been compiled from several sources, including the CHRIS data base, material safety data sheets from chemical manufacturers and suppliers, and various references cited at the end of this first chapter. This first chapter provides an explanation of the terms used in chemical specific discussions and also provides basic guidance on how to extract information from the handbook. 

Data bases have also been developed to provide information in emergency situations involving spills of chemicals and other hazardous materials. The three most prominent are the OHM-TADS on-line data base, the manual CHEMTREC data files, and the CHRIS Condensed Guide to Chemical Hazards.
