Volume 4 - Medical hazards and symptoms of exposure. Designed to alert users about the type of hazards specific chemicals cause. This volume also contains a glossary that translates specialized medical terms into "layman's language". Volume 5 - Medical first aid. Includes emergency response first aid information generated from an expert system named first response. Volume 6 - Personal protective equipment. Consists of information from three data fields: minimum protective clothing, recommended glove materials, and recommended respirators. Volume 7 - Hazardous properties and uses. Includes fire hazards, lower explosive limits (LEL) and upper explosive limits (UEL), reactivity, stability, and uses and comments. Volume 8 - Shipping classifications and regulations.
