Using Chemical Flags and Notes effectively
Chemical Flags
By creating and applying chemical flags, you can quickly
monitor and manage the multitude of chemicals used in your operations or
throughout your facility.
Chemical flags can help you identify chemicals by physical
location (e.g., print shop, chemical storage area, maintenance area) or by
specific reporting requirements (e.g., Toxic Chemical Release Inventory – Form
R). With this tool you can create as
many different flags as you need for your operation and you can apply as many
flags as you need to a chemical.
Once your chemicals are flagged, the Search By Flagged
Chemicals feature will enable you to limit your chemical searches to chemicals
that have been flagged or just those chemicals with a specific flag.
Chemical Notes
Use the Chemical notes area to maintain information
specific to your chemicals or operation.
This area can be used for recording hazard or labeling information or
for identifying the physical properties of the chemical.
Notify via Email
To be notified by email when information about any flagged
chemical (or a synonym) changes select Yes in the Notify area.
If you do not wish to be notified of chemical changes, select No.
Reviewing Chemical changes
All recent chemical changes can be viewed by using the Search
By Recent Chemical Changes feature.
