FAQs

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.

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.

Why am I getting a 403 Forbidden Error message?

The Error 403 is displayed when your access is forbidden to ChemAlert. ChemAlert is secured on the internet using an external IP address and/or username and password.

403 error messages are commonly displayed when your external IP address(es) have changed or have not been added to your Managed Access List.

Common Resolutions Options:

Check that your internet is working (http://ismyinternetworking.com/);
Contact your local IT team or your company’s ChemAlert business owner to confirm you are allowed to view ChemAlert from your location.
If you believe you have received this message in error please contact ChemAlert Support.

What is ChemAlert's SDS updating procedure?

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)

Why are there international and local SDSs in ChemAlert?

There are many SDSs from different countries. If a chemical is non-hazardous, an SDS is often not mandatory and so the importer may choose to use the international SDS to communicate additional information to the end user.

ChemAlert provides a global service and contains many local and international SDS. You can exclude SDSs from jurisdictions not relevant to you through Business Unit Preferences. Contact the ChemAlert Support team or phone +61 (0)8 9322 1711.

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.

Does my RMT-authored SDS get automatically added to the ChemAlert Library?

Yes, it is automatically added – unless you request otherwise – meaning your clients with ChemAlert access can immediately see it.

Why should I include my SDS in the ChemAlert Library?

There are multiple good reasons why you should actively seek to include your own SDSs in the ChemAlert Library:

Each SDS added to the library is verified by our in-house team of scientists. Any areas of concern are communicated back to you so you can improve your SDS.
ChemAlert services the largest clients in all industry sectors. All of these clients require your SDS to be present in the Library before you can supply to them.
Having your SDS present serves as a marketing opportunity when clients search for products.
