Labeling of Haz Mat book Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) - First Revised Edition

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) focuses on the classification of chemicals by the types of hazards that they present. It also proposes standard hazard communication elements such as labels and safety data sheets. This publication aims at ensuring that information on physical hazards and acute toxicity from chemicals is made available, in order to enhance the protection of human health and the environment during the handling, transport, and use, of these chemicals. The GHS also provides a basis for harmonization of rules and regulations on chemicals at national, regional and world-wide level, an important factor for trade facilitation. This publication is extremely useful for national and regional governments as well as for those in industries that will ultimately implement the requirements that have been adopted.

AIR Shipper manual A.I.R. Shipper™ - Air International Regulations for Shippers of Dangerous Goods
Developed in compliance with ICAO Standards

While dangerous goods shipments represent a small fraction of total air cargo, the costs involved in minimizing the risk of transporting them are significant. Beyond the fines imposed for non-compliance, there is the cost of lost business due to shipment damage or delays in delivery resulting from failure to prepare the shipment properly.

"Before it arrives at its destination, a typical air cargo shipment will spend six days in transit, will be handled 36 times, stored in six locations and generate 12 pieces of paper that must be processed,” -- Traffic World, 5-26-1997, p. 51. Assuming dangerous goods shipments are at least as complex as the “typical” air cargo shipment, the need for strict adherence to safety standards in packaging, transporting and handling these products becomes self-evident.

Until now, safety in air transport has been achieved through regulatory bodies and publications that focus on the carrier. A.I.R. Shipper™ will be the first book of its kind to focus on the shipper’s requirements. A.I.R. Shipper™ has combined international air regulations for shipping dangerous goods with related national requirements and organized them into a shipper-friendly reference.

A.I.R. Shipper™ includes an easy-to-use dangerous goods list, newly designed packing instructions and cross-references in the margins to international air regulations that allow the user to see variations in the regulations on one page.

Storck Guide Storck Guide for Stowage & Segregation to the IMDG Code - Amendment 33

Dangerous goods in deep sea shipping always have to be loaded according to the safety rules for stowage and segregation of the IMDG Code. This is easy to stipulate but hard to do. The special information on the relationship of different hazard classes in respect to their stowage and segregation has to be searched for in several tables of the IMDG Code. Checking several UN numbers against each other is most laborious and time-consuming.

Using the Storck Guide Stowage & Segregation to IMDG Code - this work is done in just a fraction of this time while creating safer transport. Classwise it shows the general stowage with dangerous substances of the other classes plus all special segregation requirements for single substances of each class. 

The Storck Guide covers the stowage and segregation rules for container ships, conventional cargo and ro/ro ships as well as barge transport. There are indications on the chemical stability of certain chemicals with their temperature control levels. The guide can be applied to bulk chemicals, bulk packagings, IBCs, large packagings and waste transports. The IMO Security Provisions also have been incorporated. For 20 years the Storck Guide serves ship planners, cargo officers, surveyors and inspectors as well as container packers and terminal operators all over the world as a valuable tool in their daily work for correctly stowing and segregating dangerous goods.

The 20th edition implements Amendment 33-06 of the IMDG Code, which will enter into force on 1st January 2008, but may be applied voluntarily as of 1st January 2007.
