Suppliers should also periodically review the information on which the label and safety data sheet for a substance or mixture is based, even if no new and significant information has been provided to them in respect of that substance or mixture. This will require e.g. a search of chemical hazard databases for new information. The competent authority may choose to specify a time (typically 3-5 years) from the date of original preparation, within which suppliers should review the labels and SDS information. 

Specialized Databases. Some potential users of Risk Assistant may have developed independent estimates of toxic risk associated with chemicals, particularly for chemicals not included in EPA toxic hazard databases. Such users (such as State governments), who typically will have access to considerable toxicological expertise may wish to use these hazard values in Risk Assistant analyses. Such specialized hazard databases can readily be incorporated into the system. 

The earliest chemical databases which became available on PC s were not structure-based. In the UK one of the first chemical databases distributed on personal computers was the hazards database CHEMDATA which was developed at the Chemical Emergency Centre at Harwell. This was a database created primarily for the emergency services to help deal with chemical emergencies. Initially, the database was offered as an online service, but obviously the need to keep this service operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, put tremendous strains on the operators of the service and as soon as the first microcomputers were introduced, the Chemical Emergency Centre recognised their potential for distributing the data in another form. 

Application to Test Case The project used the material from the preceding static safety analysis, complemented by generic hazard database material from the DRM project partners, to collect a list of 42 hazards. A selection is provided below ... 

After definition of a new hazard all affected projects have to be opened in the Ha-zardlog Database, in order to open a project specific hazard in ERRSYS as the ERRSYS record is linked with the ERRSYS record in the Hazarding Database. A parent record is created and the project specific ERRSYS record is opened by Safety. Detailed information, such as due date, operator, references, and related tickets, is added. In addition the Hazards Checklist is sent to the projects, and the respective project managers are responsible for delivering the related information in detail. All open items from the previous release or project are listed. Then the project team has to answer if the open item has been closed or not.
