Other tools
In addition to the stand-alone application of MIDSIS-TROCS 4.0, other operational tools are made available in this section addressing wind intensity, unit conversions, and chemical labels.
Beaufort scale
Describing adequately the sea state is essential for safety reason. This tool provides through illustrations a mean to qualify the sea condition. The Beaufort scale is an empirical measure for describing wind intensity based on observed sea conditions.
Chemical labels
Guidance is given on response measures that can be taken when a package suspected of containing dangerous goods has the U.N. Label affixed to the outside of the package and is the only means of identification.
Unit conversion
This tool assists responders to quickly convert units to support decision making process and related calculations.
