Hazard Hotline is a service that will provide the most up-to-date, easily accessible information about chemical products used in the Macalester workplace and is only a phone call or on-line access away for all employees.

The following is available by calling the Hazard Hotline which is located at the Damarco Solutions in Minneapolis, MN:

1. ACCESS - access to health professionals on a 24-hour-a-day basis. Poison information nurses, pharmacists and/or physicians will help you understand information contained on labels and material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and identify to you no matter what shift you are working and no matter how remote your worksheet. If needed the MSDS in question may be faxed to your location or the Macalester College Security Officer at 651.696-6135. If an MSDS is to be faxed to the Security Office please call the on officer on-duty at x6555 to retreive and deliver your MSDS to your on campus location.

2. ADVICE - advice on appropriate first aid and emergency action is avaiable. If you feel you have a immediate life threatening health concern call 911.

3. INFORMATION - information which supplements on-site Right-to-Know data.

You need not identify yourself when you call; however, certain information must be obtained from you to assist in evaluating the work environment. Examples of information that will be requested when you call are:

1. Department name or worksheet
2. Product name
3. Manufactures's name and phone number
4. How you may have been exposed

If possible, have the product container or label with you when calling the Hazard Hotline. This will speed up the process of getting correct information back to you. If an immediate answer is not available, your question will be researched and you will be called back or, if you prefer, you can call back.
