FAQs

What is the ChemAlert library?

ChemAlert has a library with hundreds of thousands of the most up-to-date manufacturer Safety Data Sheets.

Access to the full library of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) immediately commences with the subscription license. This ensures compliance with the regulations to provide SDS access to all employees that are potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals.

If a client requires an SDS that is not already there, we can add this to the library, usually within 24 hours of request.

RMT maintains and updates this SDS library. The SDS date is displayed in red text in the ChemAlert Stock Management module. If the SDS is out of date, this is also recorded along with any known reasons.

Users can search the library to find specific SDS and their current validity.

What do the ChemAlert Colour Ratings mean?

The ChemAlert Colour Rating system provides you with a visual indication of the hazard level a chemical represents for normal use.

Green rated chemicals pose a Low level of hazard for normal use
Amber rated chemicals pose a Moderate level of hazard for normal use
Red rated chemicals pose a High level of hazard for normal use.

In ChemAlert, click on the Colour Rating to display a detailed Colour Rating Guide.

Do I need to add SDSs for things like toner or fly spray?

Consumer products are those packed for and used by household or office consumers, in the same quantity as would be expected to be used in a household or for office work. Under most jurisdictions, consumer products are exempt from requiring an SDS or to be listed on a Hazardous Chemicals Register.

How do I add site-specific stock or part numbers to products in ChemAlert?

When adding items to the Stock Register, the ChemAlert system automatically allocates a unique stock number. If you have a stock number you would prefer to use, you can choose to use this number when adding to the product, or by changing the details of the product through the Stock Register Item Properties screen.

In the Stock Register:

Click on the product to open the Stock Register Item Properties screen
Replace the Stock Number allocated with your site-specific stock or part number
Click OK to save the change and return to the Stock Register Products window
The change is saved immediately and shown in the Stock list.

Do I need to use the SDS from my supplier?

You are required to have the SDS for the specific product you use. The supplier details on the SDS should match the supplier details on the label of the product.

A ChemAlert report does not replace an SDS, it is an independent verification which is vital given the known error rate of SDS content:

Instant visual indicators such as colour ratings, PPE icons, pictograms and DG diamonds
Standardised formatting
Translations into other languages
Customisability to include sections that are important to you
Additional product research by a team of qualified Scientists.

What makes an SDS compliant?

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.

How do I batch print SDS reports for my site?

Refer to detailed instructions available in ChemAlert Help > ChemAlert Admin > ChemAlert Batch Reports.

What is a Product Alert?

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.
