FAQs
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.
There are multiple good reasons why you should actively seek to include your own SDSs in the ChemAlert Library:
- Each SDS added to the library is verified by our in-house team of scientists. Any areas of concern are communicated back to you so you can improve your SDS.
- ChemAlert services the largest clients in all industry sectors. All of these clients require your SDS to be present in the Library before you can supply to them.
- Having your SDS present serves as a marketing opportunity when clients search for products.
During Scientific Support Hours your ChemAlert subscription gives you access to RMT’s team of experienced safety professionals, chemists, toxicologists and industrial hygienists who can provide advice on hazard awareness, chemical handling, PPE, storage, spill response, disposal, environmental considerations, etc.
We also provide clients with expert advice in areas such as:
- Achieving compliance with relevant legislation;
- How the GHS affects SDS, chemical labelling and reporting requirements in your workplace;
- Dangerous Goods Segregation, signage and placarding requirements;
- Storage, handling and biological monitoring.

Yes. A notification of an update to an SDS or a significant product classification change will be displayed on your ChemAlert homescreen. You can also receive a notification email of any changes.
You can modify your Interest Profile rules for notifications through the User Preferences page or via the Stock Location Properties page.
A Product Alert is a message from the Scientist who reviewed the Safety Data Sheet when it was added or updated on ChemAlert. Alerts are used to advise end users of potential issues with the SDS or explain significant discrepancies between the SDS and the ChemAlert Research Report.

No. You are not required to provide your SDS to anyone other than your customers upon request. We provide the information to anyone who asks as a marketing benefit and as a way to reduce your client's total cost of ownership for acquiring and maintaining the product/s you are providing.
