Integrated into the TAC•PAK™, the ChemWatch Chemical Database is the most widely used independently researched HAZMAT emergency information tool in the world and it is now available on the TAC•PAK™ via local CD-ROM or wireless communication from any remote location. ChemWatch contains emergency information on mass casualty chemicals and explosives, all CDC infectious substances and other biologicals, hospital drugs, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, common cleaners and fuels and other trade products.

For the first time, Federal, State and Local First Responders charged with protecting the public from terrorism, accidents and injury have immediate access to detailed emergency information and MSDSs on dangerous chemicals, infectious substances, drugs, mass casualty and explosive materials. In addition to 40,000 pure substances, ChemWatch also contains more than 75,000 common mixtures from jet fuel to roach killers to cleaning agents.

Every ChemWatch MSDS offers details not generally provided by manufacturers. ChemWatch reports are rich in graphics and color to represent risks, hazard levels, PPE and cautionary symbols such as those used by WHMIS and NFPA.

For the First Responder, ChemWatch information is very specific on topics such as first response, physical properties, personal protective equipment, advice to a doctor, odor safety and ERG isolation distances, toxicology and ecotox, waste, regulatory requirements and more.

Multiple Reports for Each Chemical
In addition to a detailed MSDS, ChemWatch also provides for every substance one page summaries, emergency response summaries, fire fighting reports and regulatory summaries.

Proprietary ChInA (Chemical Incident Advisory) Report
Provides a checklist of responses, eliminating the need to review several documents (such as the MSDS and Label).

Enivronmental Fate
Determines fate of materials, in the environment, following spill or fugitive emission.

Internet / Intranet Access
Available from any location worldwide via TAC•PAK™ wireless communication
