Editing Lot Hazard Ratings

Note: This feature requires the Chemical Inventory module licensed at your site.

Edit a lot's hazard ratings when you need to enter or change the NFPA, HMIS, and/or HMIS III ratings shown in the pictograms on the Lot Home page. Most of these ratings are single-character codes indicating a specific product hazard, a degree of hazard, or required protective equipment. Consult each pictogram's official documentation for the exact meaning of each rating and code.

After you enter and save a lot's new hazard ratings, they appear on the Lot Home page, unless an administrator has hidden one or more hazard rating pictograms from this page. For details, see Hiding/Showing Hazard Ratings.

Note: If a lot's component is defined as an SDS or part, the lot automatically adopts the hazard ratings of its component product, and you cannot directly edit these ratings for the lot using the procedure below. To change this lot's ratings, you must edit the ratings of the component product or change the lot's component definition. For details on lot component definitions, see Lot Components.

To edit a lot's hazard ratings:

Starting at the Lot Hazard Ratings page (How do I get there?), do the following:

1.      Do your editing in the various hazard rating fields. (Remember: These fields appear only if the lot’s component is defined as Lot-Specific.)

2.      Click the Save button to save your changes. Click the Done button to return to the lot’s Home page.
