Comment: In the Restricted Products paragraph: It seems that the "Restricted Products" has been moved or changed from the HPA Hazard Protection Act to the CCPSA some time ago. All the comments referring to the HPA therefore need to be verified.

Comment: A SDS that is filled out rather than a blank one would be better. Something that causes sterility or birth defects would make the students take notice and remember to where their PPE.

Comment: The 9 Sections of the (M)SDS are not explained or elaborated on. For example Self Test Question #7 asks what information do you expect to find in the first aid section of an (M)SDS? Which is Section 8 - But there is no explanation on what should be in section 8, or any section for that matter.

Comment: Flashpoint needs to be defined to properly understand the differences between Flammable(Div 2) and Combustible(Div 3) liquids. - Explaining that a cleaning solvent such as Varsol has a flashpoint of 40 Deg C (temperature at which it gives off enough vapor to ignite in air) is helpful to understand why they do not need to store Varsol in a sealed container like gasoline.

Comment: Division 2 - Materials causing other toxic effects - kills the most people so it needs to be expanded and on it's own page so the words "DEATH" "CANCER" "STERILITY" "Asbestos" "lead" "pesticides" are properly associated with the right symbol and not linked with the skull and crossbones as it is now. Also the common killers like Fibrosis, Asbestosis, Mesothelioma Silicosis need to be on the same page with the symbol. pesticides and hebicides also need to be listed. The links between Hebicides such as Round up and Lymphoma(cancer) needs to be made. The words need to be in their immediate vision for the two to be clearly connected and not mis-associated with the skull and crossbones of the poison symbol. Acetone and benzine need to be on the list as well as others that are killing workers years and decades later.

Comment: A picture is worth a thousand words. More pictures are needs for all the "nouns" in this section including lock box, work permit, scissors and master tag system personal lock, group lock. and multi-device lockout using a cable, bar or chain. A PFD of a individual worker lock out to compare to the others. A PFD of a group lock out with all the scissors and locks would be helpful. A PFD of a complex lockout would be helpful.

Comment: Pg.6 " There are two common methods for designating pipe OUTSIDE diameter (OD). The North American method is nominal pipe size (NPS) and based on inches." "Designating the outside diameter allows pipe of the same size to fit together regardless of wall thickness." Pg.55 " 3. Explain the difference between inside diameter and nominal pipe size." Pg.58 "3. inside diameter is the actual measurement between the inside walls of the pipe across the exact center." NDP IS AN APPROXIMATION OF THE INSDE DIAMETER AND IS AN INDUSTRY STANDARDUSED TO IDENTIFY VARIOUS PIPE SIZES."

Comment: Quote; tau ( vector ) = Force ( vector ) dot product radial displacement ( vector ) Correction; tau ( vector ) = Force ( vector ) cross product radial displacement ( vector ) The correct vector multiplication to find torque ( moment of force ) is by using a cross product, not a dot product. This equation needs to be corrected.

Comment: Quote Example 3 A cube shaped open vessel contains 10.3378 m^3 of liquid and has a bottom surface area of 2.0 m^2. Determine the average depth of the liquid. Correction; If the vessel is cube shape with an open top, the vessel is overflowing with any volume of liquid greater than 2.82843 m^3 of liquid. If the solution of 5.17 m height of the vessel is true, then the vessel is a rectangular prism, and not a cube.

Comment: The word "system" needs to be deleted in at least three places because it is redundant producing poor grammar. The names SI and USCS already include "system" in the name and repeating "system" after them is poor grammar. Table 1 - Common SI system units. Should read - Common SI units. The sentence "...used in the USCS system and.... should read used in the USCS and.... Table 2 - Common USCS system units. Should read - Common USCS units.
