ILO and UN Risk Assessments are the main two types of risk assessment modes in the Chemwatch system.
Tab | RA Mode | Description | What is the tab used for? |
ILO |
Health | ILO has developed a Risk Assessment Model described as “Control Banding”. It is based on the Model developed by the UK HSE knowns as CosshEssentials. Both Agencies adopt the GHS system for determining chemical hazards. National or Regional variants exist-CLP in Europe and China, HSIS in Australia. | This tab is used for performing risk assessments based on the use (health) of the chemical. |
UN |
Storage | The UN Dangerous Goods codes have been developed to regulate Transport and Storage of chemicals on Land. Similar systems have been adopted for Air Transport (IATA) and Water (IMDG) Transport and Storage. Various countries/jurisdictions have local variants (e.g., ADG in Australia, DOT in the USA, ADR throughout Europe). The Chemwatch risk assessment module for UN mode supports "Storage". | This tab is used to perform risk assessments for chemicals based on storage. |
The RA mode tabs have been updated to reflect the tabs in accordance with the type of risk assessment supported in the system.
