WARNINGS APPLICABLE TO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

1. INTRODUCTION.

2. Warnings for hazardous materials listed in this manual are designed to warn personnel of hazards associated with such items when they come in contact with them by actual use. Additional information related to hazardous materials is provided in OPNAVINST 5100.23, Navy Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) Program Manual, NAVSUPINST 5100.27, Navy Hazardous Material Control Program, and the DOD 6050.5, Hazardous Materials Information System (HMIS) series publica-tions. For each hazardous material used within the Navy, a material safety data sheet (MSDS) is required to be provided and available for review by users.

Consult your local safety and health staff concerning any question on hazardous chemicals, MSDS’s, personal protective equipment requirements, and appropriate handling and emergency procedures and disposal guidance.

3. Complete warnings for hazardous materials referenced in this manual are identified by use of an icon, nomenclature and specification or part number of the material, and a numeric identifier. The numeric identifiers have been assigned to the hazardous materials in the order of their appearance in the manual. Each hazardous material is assigned only one numeric identifier. As new HMWS are approved by the Navy, they will be added, when required, to the figure 1 and 2 lists.

4. In the text of the manual, the caption “warning” will not be used for hazardous materials. Such warnings will be identified by an icon and numeric identifier. The material nomenclature will also be provided.

5. Figure 1 is a list of approved icons and their definitions. Figure 2 is a list of approved icons and their numeric identifiers for the listed hazardous mat-erials.
