Chemical Hazards Response Information System (CHRIS)
Components of CHRIS 2.1 Hazardous Chemical DataThis manual is the cornerstone of CHRIS. For each substance, it lists the specific chemical, physical, and biological data needed for the preparation and use of the other components of the system. The manual can also be used after the initial response action, when there is sufficient time to use more detailed information. The Hazardous Chemical Data Manual is intended for use primarily by the On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) and by Regional Response Teams for devising, evaluating, and carrying out response plans. 2.2 Hazard Assessment Computer System The Hazard Assessment Computer System (HACS) permits trained specialists to obtain very detailed hazard evaluations quickly, when requested by OSC personnel, and can be accessed through the National Response Center. |
