Promoting Innovation in the USA

August marks a special time on our company calendar. It was this month in 1969 that our great company was founded. 

Our founding father, Mr. Schaeffer, had a vision all those years ago, to make the manufacturing world a safer place. He was dedicated to achieving this through the most basic of concepts; the quality and performance of his product and customer satisfaction.

Improving the IRIS Database

The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) was created by the EPA in 1985 as a program that evaluates the health effects that can occur from exposure to various chemical substances in the environment. The information, which now totals more than 550 chemicals, is organized in a database accessible across the Agency. Through the IRIS Program, the EPA is able to provide the highest quality science-based human health assessments, as searchable documents organized into 2 categories, non cancer effects and cancer effects.
