ChemAlert is an online program available to all UWA staff, students and visitors that allows the management of chemicals via the intranet and the retrieval of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
The ChemAlert program allows efficient electronic:
- maintenance of chemical inventories
- retrieval of current MSDS
- label printing for hazardous substances and dangerous goods
- management of storage and segregation of dangerous goods.
It is also a necessary tool for assisting in development and completion of:
- Chemical risk assessments
- Annual chemical audits
- Emergency protocols
- Waste disposal protocols
- Chemical safety training
To access ChemAlert you must be physically on a UWA campus. As an anonymous user, present on a campus, you can print labels, retrieve SDS files and retrieve safety information.
Your Pheme access WONT work for ChemAlert but it will let you access the ChemAlert online training through the University's Learning Management System.
ChemAlert now allows for faster addition of chemicals as well as:
- a function to add chemicals made in-house to an inventory
- smaller labels than ever before
- a risk module for managing risk assessments
- automated product updates
- region-specific product details and reports
- links to many resources.
To use the chemical inventory features of ChemAlert please apply to the systems administrator Laurton McGurk to be assigned a username and password.
