Overview
RMT develop and support ChemAlert, FirstPriority, and Critical Insight which we deliver through Software as a Service (SaaS) in Tier IV facilities. RMT own and control the hardware we host on which is located within NEXTDC data centres, engineered and constructed to the highest global standards.
We’ve installed latest generation hardware with infrastructure redundancy that gives you high availability. We maintain a real-time replication of your data, staying within the same region but hosted in a geographically separate location, with standby equipment dedicated for disaster recovery events.
Types of Support
Your ChemAlert subscription gives you access to RMT’s team of experienced safety professionals, chemists, toxicologists and industrial hygienists who can provide advice on compliance requirements, hazard awareness, chemical handling, Dangerous Goods storage and segregation, PPE, spill response, disposal, environmental considerations and more.
Our technical experts are located in Australia and available during support hours to answer your platform-specific questions. We focus on delivering high standards of support and response times.
FAQs

SDSs are assessed independently by our team of Scientists. Each product is evaluated against parameters such as chemical ingredients, product form, potential routes of exposure, toxicity and chemical properties in order to assign an appropriate colour rating to the ChemAlert report.
The following criteria is considered when identifying the colour ratings:
- Chemical ingredients
- Product form (ie. solid, liquid, or gas)
- Product use and nature of application (ie. paint, spray, brush or roller applied)
- Potential route of exposure (ie. eye, respiratory, skin absorption, ingestion)
- Inherent toxicity of chemical ingredients (ie. physiological effects – acute and chronic, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, teratogenicity, reproductive effects – Additive and Synergistic effects are also taking into account)
- Irritancy and corrosive nature (ie. mild irritation versus corrosive damage, reversible or irreversible)
- Dose – Response (ie. concentration required to cause a toxic response – LD50; LCLo; TC50; TCLo, etc)
- Exposure Standard (ie. Time Weighted Average – TLV; STEL; IDLH)
- Chemical reactivity (ie. spontaneously explosive, radioactive, etc)
- Flammability (ie. flammable, non-flammable, combustible)
- Legislative requirements and Storage and transport requirements (ie. Poison Schedule classification, Dangerous Goods classification, Hazardous Substances classification).
A scale is adopted for each of these criteria. The information is then considered as to the level of hazard the product presents with handling.

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.
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.
As part of your ChemAlert subscription you receive a defined number of free new Research Report additions per year. To check how many of free additions you have left and any fees thereafter applicable, please contact your Account Manager, ChemAlert Support or phone +61 (0)8 9322 1711.
The 404 error is displayed whenever someone asks for a page or web link that is not available.
