FAQs

Why am I getting a 404 Page Not Found message?

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.

How do I print a report on all chemicals for my site location?

Refer to detailed instructions available in ChemAlert Help > ChemAlert Stock > ChemAlert Stock 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.

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 is the scope of SaaS services?

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.

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.

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 are the ChemAlert Colour Ratings determined?

SDSs are assessed independently by our team of Scientists. Each product is evaluated against parameters such as chemical ingredients, product form, potential routes of exposure, toxicity and chemical properties in order to assign an appropriate colour rating to the ChemAlert report.

The following criteria is considered when identifying the colour ratings:

Chemical ingredients
Product form (ie. solid, liquid, or gas)
Product use and nature of application (ie. paint, spray, brush or roller applied)
Potential route of exposure (ie. eye, respiratory, skin absorption, ingestion)
Inherent toxicity of chemical ingredients (ie. physiological effects – acute and chronic, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, teratogenicity, reproductive effects – Additive and Synergistic effects are also taking into account)
Irritancy and corrosive nature (ie. mild irritation versus corrosive damage, reversible or irreversible)
Dose – Response (ie. concentration required to cause a toxic response – LD50; LCLo; TC50; TCLo, etc)
Exposure Standard (ie. Time Weighted Average – TLV; STEL; IDLH)
Chemical reactivity (ie. spontaneously explosive, radioactive, etc)
Flammability (ie. flammable, non-flammable, combustible)
Legislative requirements and Storage and transport requirements (ie. Poison Schedule classification, Dangerous Goods classification, Hazardous Substances classification).

A scale is adopted for each of these criteria. The information is then considered as to the level of hazard the product presents with handling.
