This database application for the recording and
reporting of chemicals or hazardous substances is
based on Australian legislation and regulations. The
application has relevance for all companies or
businesses that store and use these hazardous
substances. The built-in requirements and safeguards
can be utilised for the safe storage and handling of
these substances which is a great benefit to the
environment, the public, and specifically any
employees involved in processing or handling these
substances.
The application has been used successfully on a very
large manufacturing site in Victoria, Australia. The
main hazardous substances database has provision for
the recording of multi-company and multi-site data.
There is also a synonyms database because some
hazardous substances are known by more than one name.
There is a suppliers' database because of the need to
be able to track information such as Material Safety
Data Sheets, and instructions in the case of an
emergency.
There is also a chemical library provided which
records information such as the CAS Number, The
Hazardous code, United Nations code, and the dangerous
goods diamond sign required for each entry in the
database etc.There is also a stores database which
records all of the details of the stores that hold the
hazardous substances.
Detailed instructions of items to be included in the
input fields for each of the chemicals, synonyms,
suppliers, library and stores databases are included
in the comprehensive help file included with the
application. This file covers how to operate the
application and also a detailed explanation of
chemical hazards. This explanation covers just what
is a hazardous substance, the classification of
dangerous goods, the Material Safety Data Sheet, a
glossary of hazardous terms, international safety and
risk phrases, and dangerous goods signs required.
