The deadline to complete your annual chemical inventory is this Friday, 11 August.
All departments have a legislative requirement to document all chemical holdings in our Chemical Management System, Chem Alert.
Why is it important?
Ensuring that all chemicals being held on-site are accurately documented is critical in case of emergency. It also provides your local area with correct safety information for safe chemical storage and handling.
What do you need to do?
Every department must complete a chemical inventory annually for all Dangerous and Hazardous Substances.
Departments need to open the Chem Alert Chemical Inventory and generate a stock inventory inspection report. Then follow the instructions in the guide to access the report and undertake your inspection, and upload chemicals in your area into the Chem Alert Chemical Management System.
You will need to check the quantity and name of the chemical holdings (as per instructions) and following the inspection, provide a current holding update.
