Description / Abstract:
This standard practice provides a reference listing of chemicals
used in the various AASHTO Test Methods (see Table 1). It includes
current regulatory codes and hazard classifications. The list does
not include radiation hazards. This practice is not intended as a
substitute for law or regulation.
The chemical list must be provided to all laboratory employees
engaged in performing AASHTO tests. In addition, all laboratory
employees must be trained in proper handling procedures as stated
in the OSHA 1910.1200 Hazard Communication Standard or governing
state regulation. Laboratories performing AASHTO tests shall
establish a Chemical Hygiene Plan as set out in 29 CFR 1910.1450,
including the training requirements therein.
This practice supplements data found in MSDSs supplied by
manufacturers. This practice is for quick reference ability and is
not intended to replace MSDSs.
