1. Chemical Inventories

2. Building Your Chemical Inventory
Conduct a review of all production and support processes (maintenance, cleaning, power generation, etc.) to identify ALL chemicals used on-site
Obtain and review chemical information of each chemical
SDS
RSL/MRSL testing
Create a standardized inventory of all chemicals used
Include relevant information on inventory

3. Chemical Inventory – Good or Bad??
Department
Name
Hazard(s)
Supply Vendor
Gluing
GL-100
- Flammable
- Health Hazard
- Irritant (eye, skin)
Dynex Chemical
Ask attendees is this good or bad and why. Leading into the next slide with a better example.

6. Use Your Chemical Inventory
Inventory = Database
Can be separated by:
Production areas
Processes
Product lines
Departments
Chemical hazards classes
Explain that the inventory can be a useful document. Excel based inventories work great as they provide a simple format that is easy to maintain and also can be sorted/searched by various items.

7. 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
