FAQs

What does Obsolete and Discontinued mean?

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.

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.

How is first aid information allocated to ChemAlert reports?

The first aid information displayed on the majority of ChemAlert Research Reports is taken from the “Standard Statements” guide, Part 1 of Appendix E of the SUSMP. Click here to view the latest Poison Standard.

Certain chemicals require specific first aid advice. The toxicological properties, health effects and subsequent first aid treatment of these chemicals are researched using scientific, peer reviewed sources such as:

RTECS – Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances, compiled by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services;
HSDB – Hazardous Substances Data Bank, compiled by the National Library of Medicine, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Reprotox – information system developed by the Reproductive Toxicology Center for Clinicians, Scientists and Government Agencies;
Reprotox – information system developed by the Reproductive Toxicology Center for Clinicians, Scientists and Government Agencies;
Martindale – The Complete Drug Reference – Monographs, prepared by the editorial staff of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

An example of a chemical which requires specific first aid instructions is hydrofluoric acid. Due to the nature of this chemical, there are very specific first aid instructions which must be adhered to in the event of an accident.

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 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 have to provide my SDS to a third-party service?

No. You are not required to provide your SDS to anyone other than your customers upon request. We provide the information to anyone who asks as a marketing benefit and as a way to reduce your client's total cost of ownership for acquiring and maintaining the product/s you are providing.

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.

What is the validation process of Manufacturer SDSs?

To minimise the inaccuracy of manufacturer's SDSs, RMT undertakes a rigorous process of validation against recognised national and international reference sources.

Each and every SDS is reviewed by a qualified RMT Scientific Services Advisor prior to inclusion in the ChemAlert Library.
