Digital Chemical Register — Know Every Substance in Your Workplace
Upload SDS documents, auto-extract hazard data, and flag every substance affected by the December 2026 WEL transition.
SDS parsing
Upload an SDS PDF, system extracts GHS classification, hazard statements, composition, first aid, and storage requirements. No manual data entry.
The parser identifies substance identity, CAS numbers, GHS hazard categories, precautionary statements, and storage incompatibilities from any SDS format. Extracted data populates the register automatically, eliminating transcription errors and ensuring consistency across your chemical inventory.
WEL impact flagging
Every chemical automatically checked against incoming December 2026 limits. Red flag on substances where current controls may not be sufficient.
Substances gaining a limit for the first time (flour dust, diesel particulate) are flagged as NEW. Substances with major reductions (manganese -98%, nickel -99%, chromium VI -90%) are flagged red with the specific percentage change and the number of days until the new limit takes effect.
CMR flagging
Carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic substances automatically identified from GHS classification and flagged for heightened controls and health monitoring triggers.
The system identifies CMR substances from GHS Category 1A and 1B classifications and cross-references against Schedule 14 of the WHS Regulation 2025 to flag health monitoring obligations. CMR-flagged substances appear in a dedicated view for prioritised risk assessment.
What happens without a digital chemical register
Your chemical register is a spreadsheet last updated 18 months ago. A new cleaning product arrived in March. Nobody updated the register. SafeWork NSW walks in and asks to see the SDS for that product. You cannot find it. Improvement notice issued. 28 days to comply. If the product contains a Schedule 14 substance and health monitoring was not provided, the breach escalates to Category 2.
How It Works
Upload
Drop your SDS PDFs into the system. AI extracts substance identity, classification, and hazard data.
Register
Every substance appears in your digital register with current WES, incoming WEL, % change, and traffic light status.
Act
Red-flagged substances generate action items: review controls, commission monitoring, update risk assessment. Track each action to completion.
Compliance Mapping
| Regulation | Section | Requirement | How This Module Meets It |
|---|---|---|---|
| WHS Regulation 2025 | s.346 | Duty to keep register of hazardous chemicals, readily accessible, with current SDS | Digital register accessible from any device, any location. SDS linked directly to each substance record with currency tracking. |
| WHS Regulation 2025 | s.347 | SDS must be current (within 5 years of issue date) | System tracks SDS issue dates and alerts when an SDS approaches the 5-year currency limit. |
| Code of Practice | Managing risks of hazardous chemicals | Risk assessment for every hazardous chemical | Chemical register links to risk assessment module. Red-flagged substances generate risk assessment review items. |
| Code of Practice | Labelling of workplace hazardous chemicals | GHS-compliant labels | GHS classification data extracted from SDS enables verification of label compliance for each substance. |
