Hazardous materials reference book cross-index

When an emergency involving hazardous materials arises, you don't have the luxury of using several guides to gather the information required to assess the situation. You have to obtain corroborating data from at least three sources before responding to the HazMat emergency - and you have to do it fast. The Cross-Index is as easy to use as it is thorough. It's alphabetized by chemical name, with UN/NA numbers given to confirm that the proper material is being researched. Page numbers from such authoritative publications as Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, the Coast Guard's Chemical Hazard Response Information System, and Charles Baker's Firefighter's Handbook of Hazardous Materials are listed across the page. You can thus tell at a glance which books contain information on the hazardous material in question and which page number(s) the information can be retrieved from. What's more, every variation on a particular material's name is listed individually, enabling you to access information by tradename or synonym as well as by the chemical name. . Hazardous Materials Reference Book Cross-Index is an essential tool for anyone involved in emergency response, as well as for professionals associated with the manufacturing, transportation, storage, use, control, and study of hazardous materials.
