We offer specialized regulatory consulting for the preparation of the company’s chemical agents inventory, ensuring that all substances and mixtures are correctly identified and cataloged in compliance with current regulations. Our team assists companies in collecting, organizing, and continuously updating chemical information, ensuring consistent and accurate management. We utilize advanced tools to facilitate process automation, reducing errors and manual data entry times, thereby simplifying the consultation and monitoring of relevant data for safety and regulatory compliance.
The fundamental components of the chemical risk assessment process are hazard and exposure. The first component is described through hazard classifications, while the second must take into account multiple factors such as quantity, frequency of use, exposure times, planned control measures, PPE, training, information, instruction, and, most importantly, occupational exposure limit values.
The primary source for these components is the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), which is fundamental not only for identifying hazards but also for risk assessment and management.
For effective chemical risk assessment and to navigate the regulatory complexities faced by companies today, it is essential that information is accurate and specific for all chemical compounds present in the company. Once collected, this information needs to be regularly updated and verified to ensure consistency across all relevant regulations.
Therefore, creating an archive, database, or what we could call a "chemical agent inventory" is crucial. This inventory should include substances, mixtures, preparations, impurities, chemical agents, carcinogens and mutagens, biocides, cosmetics, agrochemicals, pesticides, etc.
In practice, this should be a file or system where data extracted from SDSs is easily readable, filterable, searchable, and allows for consistent, accurate, and continuously updated access to this information.
Normachem offers assistance in structuring such an archive, including the use of software tools that can significantly reduce time spent on manual data entry.
