Building a Comprehensive Chemical Inventory System
Conduct a thorough review of all processes to identify and document all chemicals used on-site, create a standardized inventory with relevant information, and use the inventory to prioritize hazardous chemicals for substitution, track usage quantities, and streamline purchasing practices to prevent overstocking and reduce waste. A chemical inventory serves as a vital tool in managing and regulating the usage of chemicals in a facility.

Use Your Chemical Inventory Inventory = Database Can be separated by: Production areas Processes Product lines Departments Chemical hazards classes
Use Your Chemical Inventory Identify and prioritize hazardous chemical for substitution Restricted chemicals, significant human/environmental health impacts Track chemical usage quantities Can be used in the development and tracking of targets Identify any unknown chemicals on-site and regulate purchasing approvals Serves as a list of chemicals approved for purchase Standardize purchasing schedules and quantities Reduce over stocking, expiration Identify any redundant chemistries or areas of excessive use A chemical inventory is a living document that should be reviewed and updated regularly (at least every 6 months) by dedicated and trained staff
