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.

How do I add a product to ChemAlert?

To add a new chemical product to the ChemAlert Library, simply email the manufacturer's SDS through to ChemAlert Support. You will receive an automated email with a ticket number to quote if you have any queries regarding the request. Alternatively, you can submit the SDS via ChemAlert's Request module. For more information on how to do this, please contact our Support team on +61 (0)8 9322 1711. Many organisations have internal procedures in place for the approval of new chemicals. Check internally with a supervisor or health and safety team to ensure you comply with your organisational processes.

Do I have to disclose all ingredients on my SDS?

Some jurisdictions, like the USA do not require all hazardous ingredients to be specified for the purpose of commercial-in-confidence trade secrets. Others, like Australia, require all hazardous ingredients to be listed and include ingredients that have an exposure standard with a concentration above 1%. To protect formulas, manufacturers are permitted to specify concentration ranges instead of exact percentages. However, it is best practice to be as precise as possible.

Where is the RMT SaaS?

RMT develop and support ChemAlert and First Priority 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 in Australia, engineered and constructed to the highest global standards.

What is the validation process of Manufacturer SDSs?

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.

How do I add site-specific stock or part numbers to products in ChemAlert?

When adding items to the Stock Register, the ChemAlert system automatically allocates a unique stock number. If you have a stock number you would prefer to use, you can choose to use this number when adding to the product, or by changing the details of the product through the Stock Register Item Properties screen.

In the Stock Register:

Click on the product to open the Stock Register Item Properties screen
Replace the Stock Number allocated with your site-specific stock or part number
Click OK to save the change and return to the Stock Register Products window
The change is saved immediately and shown in the Stock list.

Why am I getting a 404 Page Not Found message?

The 404 error is displayed whenever someone asks for a page or web link that is not available.

Common Resolutions Options:

Check that your Internet is working (http://ismyinternetworking.com/);
Check that your ChemAlert web address/web link/URL is correct;
Add a forward trailing slash ‘/’ at the end of the web address e.g. https://chemalert.rmt.com.au/yourcompanyname/.

If you believe you have received this message in error, please contact ChemAlert Support.

What makes an SDS compliant?

The manufacturer or distributor of a hazardous chemical must prepare a Safety Data Sheet for any hazardous chemical to be supplied to a workplace. A substance is considered hazardous if it meets one of the following criteria:

Has been classified as a hazardous substance by the manufacturer or importer in accordance with regional requirements.
Is classified as hazardous according to the criteria of the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

Only SDSs prepared according to the GHS will be accepted in many jurisdictions and regions.
