MSDSonline announced earlier this month the launch of a new chemical mapping feature that the company considers to be an important advancement in chemical inventory management. Automatically available to subscribers of MSDSonline’s chemical management solutions, the feature gives users a visual representation of their workplace chemicals, and drag-and-drop controls convert facility floor plans into interactive maps. Customers can now instantly identify, move and manage their chemical inventories on image maps of their facilities, MSDSonline says.
MSDSonline customers with either an HQ Account or HQ RegXR Account can log into their accounts and upload site maps of their facilities into the system. Numerous maps can be added to an account for multiple facilities, floors or departments, the company says. Once uploaded, customers can then drag and drop container icons representing their specific chemical products onto the map. Completed maps can be viewed from the customer’s personal chemical dashboard, called an eBinder, and use it to quickly and accurately track and manage chemicals throughout their facility, MSDSonline says.
The mapping enhancement lets users identify clusters of hazardous materials, provide real-time visual representation of dangerous chemicals for first responders, and assist with disaster preparedness, according to Mike Flynn, MSDSonline’s VP of Strategy & Product Development.
The new mapping enhancement joins other features that are included in MSDSonline’s HQ and HQ RegXR chemical management solutions, such as:
- Access to a leading database of safety data sheets (SDSs), with millions of documents in a variety of regulatory formats (e.g. OSHA, WHMIS, GHS, etc.)
- Detailed, multi-level container location tracking and reconciliation.
- Custom chemical label and barcode creation (OSHA, WHMIS, GHS).
- Employee Right-to-Know MSDS search interface.
- Flagging and management of banned chemicals.
- Advanced environmental and regulatory reporting.
