FAQs

What do the ChemAlert Colour Ratings mean?

The ChemAlert Colour Rating system provides you with a visual indication of the hazard level a chemical represents for normal use.

Green rated chemicals pose a Low level of hazard for normal use
Amber rated chemicals pose a Moderate level of hazard for normal use
Red rated chemicals pose a High level of hazard for normal use.

In ChemAlert, click on the Colour Rating to display a detailed Colour Rating Guide.

What is a ChemAlert Research Report?

Not all manufacturers have the resources or expertise available to issue comprehensive, legislatively compliant SDS for the products they manufacture. ChemAlert Research Reports are independently researched documents which provide additional information for products used on site, ensuring that maximum knowledge is available throughout the workplace when working with potentially hazardous or dangerous chemicals.

ChemAlert Research Reports detail information which may not be available on the manufacturer's SDS such as:

Toxicological effects resulting from acute and/or chronic exposure to the product
Toxicity data for the individual ingredients in the product
Environmental impacts of the product to land, marine life and the atmosphere
Exposure standards for ingredients in the product, in line with Workplace exposure standards for airborne contaminants.

ChemAlert Research Reports also include a unique colour rating system and images of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These features ensure that simple and effective awareness of risks associated with a chemical product can be easily identified by all staff.

ChemAlert Research Reports are available in three standard formats:

Summary Report: provides a brief overview of the product covering health hazards, first aid, precautions and PPE
Extended Summary Report: Is a customisable (Business Unit Preferences) report that by default provides information such as synonyms, ingredients, health hazards, precautions, PPE, first aid, safe handling, emergency procedures, safe handling, and physical and chemical properties of the product
Full Report: provides information for the product in accordance with the format outlined in the Code of Practice: Preparation of safety data sheets for hazardous chemicals.

When used in conjunction with the manufacturer's SDS, ChemAlert Research Reports are an excellent tool in helping to ensure that workplace risks are minimised.

How do I setup user access?

ChemAlert access is maintained by Site Administrators in your company. Instructions are available in ChemAlert Help > ChemAlert Admin > Adding New Users to ChemAlert and ChemAlert Groups.

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.

Do I need to add SDSs for things like toner or fly spray?

Consumer products are those packed for and used by household or office consumers, in the same quantity as would be expected to be used in a household or for office work. Under most jurisdictions, consumer products are exempt from requiring an SDS or to be listed on a Hazardous Chemicals Register.

How can I create a new SDS?

RMT writes new SDSs for chemical manufacturers around the world. An RMT authored SDS is written to the highest standard and complies with the relevant legislative standards.

If you are interested in using our SDS Authoring Service, please call us on +61 (0)8 9322 1711 or contact us.

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.

Do I need to use the SDS from my supplier?

You are required to have the SDS for the specific product you use. The supplier details on the SDS should match the supplier details on the label of the product.

A ChemAlert report does not replace an SDS, it is an independent verification which is vital given the known error rate of SDS content:

Instant visual indicators such as colour ratings, PPE icons, pictograms and DG diamonds
Standardised formatting
Translations into other languages
Customisability to include sections that are important to you
Additional product research by a team of qualified Scientists.
