Find and reduce the safety and health hazards associated with dangerous substances and chemical products in workplaces within your company.
You can either start with a very short (Quick Start) questionnaire with seven questions or immediately start with a more detailed questionnaire of 36 questions. If you use the long questionnaire, you can save your answers and continue later. Once you have completed the long questionnaire, you can print a report, ‘My Chemical Guide’ that includes your answers, a to-do checklist and recommendations for good practices and measures.
