New RTK PRO Software is Here!
Featuring an enhanced labeling database with information for over 1,700 chemicals, the new and improved Right-to-Know software bundled with the DuraLabel PRO label printer is bringing industrial labeling and safety compliance to a new, attainable level.
This new RTK PRO software is meant to increase the functionality, convenience, and effectiveness of the DuraLabel PRO. The comprehensive software package is full of features designed to meet all your RTK labeling needs. It’s stocked with over 1,700 preset chemical names, plus users can add their own chemicals and information that is automatically stored in the software’s database for future use. An easy-to-use search function allows users to quickly locate a needed chemical. Label fields are automatically populated with the desired information.
NFPA colors are also outlined, and over 300 pictograms for further detailing hazards and warnings are available as well.
While current regulations do not specify a standard format for labels, they do encourage that labels contain at least the identity of the hazardous chemical by common name, appropriate hazard warnings, and the name and address of the manufacturer, distributor, or responsible party.
Right to Know, a heavily championed OSHA concept, emerged from workers campaigns in the 1970s. Worker advocates called for more information regarding the safety and potential hazards in industrial working environments. Various safety mandates have since resulted, the most significant being the Hazard Communication Standard, which calls for the clear and obvious labeling of all areas where hazardous materials are present and the identification and hazard of said materials.
