GHS means Globally Harmonized System. With Chemical Safety’s EH&S software, users can print GHS compliant labels. The labels contain relevant and specific information. Such as signal words, pictograms, manufacturer information, precautionary statements, hazard statements, and product identifiers. Besides, the provision of a cloud-based Safety Data Sheets (SDS), which are OSHA and international standards compliant, makes access to any hazard information easy. Not forgetting, the sorting and archiving as well. Likewise for the tools provided under Chemical Inventory, Hazardous Waste, Chemical BOL, and Employee Workplace Safety. Ease of tracking/monitoring leads to ease of management. Which also means lesser mistakes, and accurate reporting. Hence, the ultimate outcome is effective follow-up actions (e.g. proper waste disposal, classification of chemicals etc.) and compliance.

2. Enhance Safety Productivity & Tasks Effectiveness

The Facility Safety and Compliance feature allow users to build their desired workflows in collecting, monitoring and reporting information automatically. The application of workflows in Chemical Safety itself is diverse. In fact, limitless, as users are able to create new ones to fit their usage. Build workflows to support your work order management, audits, inspections, permit tracking, industrial hygiene, project management and reporting. Thus, eliminating time-consuming, low-priority routine tasks so you could focus on matters that matters. Furthermore, Chemical Safety’s mobile app for a number of essential features readily support work on-the-go. Work from home? Need to urgently check a report during commute? Not an issue! The mobile versions are available for Chemical Inventory, Hazardous Waste, SDS, GHS, and Employee Workplace Safety.

3. Better Bookkeeping Support Audits & Inspections, and Enable Improvements

Our bookkeeping here refers to all sorts of documentations relating to EH&S management. The use of SDS and GHS labelling are pretty explanatory in how they support better bookkeeping. However, what is Chemical BOL and Radioisotope tracking which we had mentioned? Well, Chemical BOL with Chemical Safety’s EH&S software generates the necessary documents for shipping, labelling, and SDS of their chemicals and hazardous materials. On the other hand, the radioisotope tracking provides a real-time view and information of their radioisotopes. Its user-centric interface is capable of sending notifications via email to inform of any statuses change, and thus heavily simplifying follow-up. Throughout, the processes are recorded, and could be exported into reports, both standard and custom. Where any part of the processes is problematic, it is readily revealed is such systematic documentation. Hence, taking actions to improve is just an eye’s view away!

4. High Compliance to Legal and Regulatory Standards

Chemical Inventory Management, Hazardous Waste, SDS, GHS labelling, Chemical BOL, and Radioisotope Tracking. Knowing what these features do are not hard to understand their role in keeping to high regulatory compliance. But what else are there in Chemical Safety’s EH&S software that support compliance to regulations? Environmental Regulatory Reporting, Facility Safety and even Employee Workplace Safety that is! Whether in environmental management, facility, or workplace, they all have their own regulations and standards. But what we need to know here is this. These features provide tools that first enable accurate documenting. Then, it enables ease of monitoring. Lastly, it enables reporting to support inspection and any audits.

5. Inculcate a Strong Safety Culture
