FAQs
A Product Alert is a message from the Scientist who reviewed the Safety Data Sheet when it was added or updated on ChemAlert. Alerts are used to advise end users of potential issues with the SDS or explain significant discrepancies between the SDS and the ChemAlert Research Report.
Trained in-house IT experts to support the application. 24/7/365 monitoring to maximise uptime. We perform the release installs and upgrades. We take on server hardware purchases, upgrades and maintenance. We ensure database and application maintenance is proactive. We focus on your security. We plan and test for disaster recovery and failover and we are on-hand during Technical Support Hours if you have a question or an issue.
Product Obsolete: This means that the product is no longer manufactured, supplied, or distributed. For any product remaining on site, it is then acceptable to use the latest available SDS. If the product is brought back into circulation by the manufacturer, RMT will review the product's status on ChemAlert.
SDS Discontinued: This means the product is no longer classified as hazardous and the manufacturer is no longer supporting an SDS for the product.
Discontinued: This means that RMT is not currently maintaining the SDS, typically because despite repeated requests, we are unable to source an updated SDS for the product. An Alert will exist for the product outlining the reason(s) why it has been discontinued.
ChemAlert access is maintained by Site Administrators in your company. Instructions are available in ChemAlert Help > ChemAlert Admin > Adding New Users to ChemAlert and ChemAlert Groups.
The manufacturer or distributor of a hazardous chemical must prepare a Safety Data Sheet for any hazardous chemical to be supplied to a workplace. A substance is considered hazardous if it meets one of the following criteria:
- Has been classified as a hazardous substance by the manufacturer or importer in accordance with regional requirements.
- Is classified as hazardous according to the criteria of the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
Only SDSs prepared according to the GHS will be accepted in many jurisdictions and regions.
The 404 error is displayed whenever someone asks for a page or web link that is not available.
Common Resolutions Options:
- Check that your Internet is working (http://ismyinternetworking.com/);
- Check that your ChemAlert web address/web link/URL is correct;
- Add a forward trailing slash ‘/’ at the end of the web address e.g. https://chemalert.rmt.com.au/yourcompanyname/.
If you believe you have received this message in error, please contact ChemAlert Support.
Once an SDS is in the ChemAlert Library, RMT will take all reasonable measures to ensure that its currency is maintained. Each updated SDS is reviewed and validated by our qualified scientific team. There are five ways we ensure the ChemAlert Library is the most current and up to date library of Safety Data Sheets in market:
- We automate the acquisition of updated Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) from the suppliers that publish them on their website.
- Any SDS nearing five years since last review is identified, and our dedicated team of SDS Administrators will then attempt to source an updated SDS directly from the manufacturer by email or phone. If the manufacturer does not yet have an update, they will be asked to proactively notify RMT when it is available.
- We have a strong relationship with many suppliers who proactively send us their Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and value the independent review of our RMT scientists perform, advising them on improvements to the Safety Data Sheet.
- We author SDSs on behalf of thousands of manufacturers and in the process of updating their SDS documents, ChemAlert users get instant updates.
- Client feedback. If you receive an SDS that is more current than the one on ChemAlert, please forward it to our Support team by email or through the UPLOAD functionality in ChemAlert on the Product Details screen (Reports/Labels > Manufacturer SDS > Enquiry)
We aim to complete each singular chemical addition request within one (1) working day. If you have several SDSs per request, it may take longer. We will let you know an estimated completion date for large requests where it may take longer than a week to complete.
For urgent request please mark your email request as ‘Urgent’, or call us on +61 (0)8 9322 1711 to speak directly to our Science team.
