Health & Safety

The Chemical (Hazard, Information and Packaging for supply) Regulations; CHIP3 regulations require us to advise you of any hazards associated with certain products. There are 3 categories:

• Hazard Classifications
• Risk Phrases
• Safety Phrases

To help you, we have composed this handy guide. Relevant products in the catalogue are marked with code numbers, simply look up the number on the key to identity the associated hazard.

To improve our service to customers and to ensure the latest versions of the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available together with SDS for older products, we have updated our service. To search our database of Safety Data Sheets please go to the following website: www.free-instruction-manuals.com. Click on the Search button and choose part code from the drop down menu, enter the 8 or 13 digit barcode number that you will find on the product and select search. The SDS should be available for you to review.
