WE KNOW WHAT CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT IS!
WE ALSO KNOW WHAT IT'S NOT
It is not sufficient to simply gather SDS, for use, when an incident occurs.
OVER 4000 ORGANISATIONS, WORLD-WIDE, USE OUR MANAGED SERVICES SOLUTIONS
Chemicals Management requires:
- a review of all chemicals you introduce to your workplace – does a safer substitute exist?
- SDS Acquisition from your Suppliers; SDS Maintenance – ensure these documents current and relevant
- data extraction services to reduce the SDS to data-base format – this data is used to drive the various programs associated with a complete Managed Services solution
- preparation of HAZARD REVIEW SUMMARY which suits the need of EVERY member of the work-force
- a Risk Assessment based on the working environment, patterns of use and manner of use
- tracking of chemicals throughout the workplace
- maintenance of personnel records identifying their exposure to all chemicals
- provision of 24/7 Emergency Response Services
-
- alerts notifying you when any substance, in any chemical:
- changes its regulated status
- is the subject of new toxicological or environmental concern
- an audit trail of changes associated with advice given in relation to all chemicals
THE SEAL OF APPROVAL:
Subscribers request a review of chemicals to be introduced to the workplace.
Turn-around time is generally less than 24 hours.
Subscribers receive this service for FREE.
(M)SDS ACQUISITION AND MAINTENANCE:
Send us a List of chemicals you use; we ensure that an SDS is obtained for each – FREE.
Where the SDS is available on the Web our Web Crawlers visit it daily to identify updates.
Where an SDS comes directly from the supplier, our Call Centres make frequent contact to ensure that updates are identified.
We maintain a central database of over 13 million SDS - there is high probability that SDS of interest are available even before you request them.
THE HAZARD REVIEW SUMMARY:
We support each chemical with a one page summary of hazards.
Each is available in more than 30 languages (including those of Europe, Asia, the Middle East and India).
DATA EXTRACTION SERVICES:
On receipt of an (M)SDS we extract all data for:
