4 The BlueGreen Alliance is a national, strategic partnership between labor unions and environmental organizations dedicated to expanding the number and quality of jobs in the green economy.

Workers and Chemicals 1. How can we build a conversation among workers about the problems with chemicals and using safer chemicals ? 2. Where do workers learn about chemicals and what resources do they use?

Three Problems With MSDS  Don’t really answer our questions  Between 30 and 100% of the studied products contained undeclared chemicals  Of 150 MSDS sheets only 37% had accurate data on health effects of the listed chemicals  Accuracy, Comprehensibility, and Use of MaterialSafety Data Sheets: A Review, Nicol, A.M. et al; AJIM, 51; (2008)

Your health and safety committee has decided to convince your company to switch from using a dangerous chemical to a safer alternative. What information would you need to help you get your employer switch to a safer chemical?

How did we build ChemHAT?  Workers provided user requirements  Simple, searchable, clear  Impacts, common uses, exposure pathways  Worst hazards; alternatives information  Existing Tools and Resources for Hazard Data  PLUM: UC Berkeley Center for Green Chemistry Chemical Hazards Database:  Pharos: Healthy Building Network  Green Screen for Safer Chemicals:  Other examples for presenting chemical data to consumers:  GoodGuide:  EWG’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database:  Ecology Center, Ann Arbor MI,
