The CHRIS Database provides additional information regarding specific chemicals. This
chemical database is maintained by the United States Coast Guard, and is available in
OREIS™ as a second source hazardous materials and chemical reference guide. The guide
allows you to select a chemical by name and access a variety of information about the chosen
substance.
- Click the "CHRIS Database" tab, and you will be presented with the chemical listing
and selection screen. Use the letter menu located at the top of the screen to view chemicals
beginning with the chosen letter. Use the scroll bar on the right of the screen to view more
chemicals from the list. After you have located the substance you wish to obtain information
about, select it by double clicking on the chemical's name. Besides using the scroll bars to search for a specific chemical name, you
may type in the name at the edit box. The system automatically searches for the closest
match from the list.
- After selecting a chemical, you will be presented with the initial CHRIS chemical information
screen. This screen presents an overview of cautionary response information.
The chosen chemical's name will be listed in an edit box at the top of the screen, as will
the specific CHRIS code for the chose chemical. Obtain more detailed information about the
chosen chemicals by clicking on the tabs. Each section is assigned certain facets that it
describes about the chemical.
