Based in part on customer input, NIOSH combined the MSHA and OSHA versions of the HazCom Helper into one easy-to-use tool. This tool, the HazComWriter, is more robust than its predecessors and features a new sort utility, storage of the chemical list (Appendix A) in an Excel format, and easy to use menus. The document produced by the HazComWriter software will satisfy both MSHA and OSHA requirements for a "written hazardous communication document."

New Features:

• 3.1.1 Update fixes a bug in the OSHA document print routine.
• Combines both HazCom Helper versions into one tool, thereby avoiding confusion on which one to use.
• New "sort" utility allows a user to sort Appendix A (list of hazardous chemicals) by chemical name, CAS number, location, or manufacturer.
• Export of the chemical list (Appendix A) in Excel format.
