Chemical Management Software
Improve Worker Safety with CHAMP: Our Award-Winning Chemical Management Software
CHAMP, which stands for Chemical Hazard Assessment Program, is Chemscape’s highest level of chemical management software. As an extension of our SDS Management Product, sdsBinders, CHAMP uses the data from your SDS Library to evaluate chemical safety within your organization, identify chemical hazards, and provide recommendations for effective controls.
How CHAMP Works
Rank your chemicals from highest to lowest hazard
After completing a chemical hazard assessment, CHAMP categorizes your chemicals into 5 hazard bands (A = lowest hazard and E = extreme hazard). This allows you to prioritize chemicals that require immediate attention for the protection of your workers.
Streamline chemical approvals with exposure & risk assessments based on product use
Chemical approvals go through a comprehensive chemical risk assessment, so exposure is fully understood based on how the chemicals are being used and handled. Approvals provide recommendations on controls and PPE to protect workers.
Receive control recommendations to eliminate the guesswork
Eliminate the guesswork around chemical hazards and get control advice that is based on trusted industrial and occupational resources, defensible, recorded in CHAMP, and visible to all. CHAMP improves decision-making on chemical use by your workforce and provides tools and coaching to help you implement a chemical management program across your organization.
Go beyond an SDS document shelf with chemical management software
CHAMP is a chemical management tool that allows for better planning and improved chemical handling. Many programs say they manage chemicals, but CHAMP offers SDS management and a chemical hazard risk assessment tool to control chemical exposures.
Why choose CHAMP?
-
Prevent illness & long-term disability
Take a proactive approach to managing chemicals with CHAMP. Canadian Worker Compensation Board data shows that 64% of workplace fatalities come from exposure to harmful substances. CHAMP tools improve worker engagement in chemical handling and gives management a tool to better assess risk.
-
Reduce your liability
Using hazardous chemicals in the workplace results in substantial direct, indirect, and liability costs to businesses, public health, and the environment. Investment in a chemical management program can reduce these costs, as well as improve performance efficiency, industry leadership, and corporate stewardship.
-
Protect your organization from the threatening consequences of hazardous chemicals
Hazardous chemicals have the potential to be misused in the workplace, either in handling, storage, disposal, or transportation. Implementing an approval process that examines the hazards and addresses the controls allows you to truly understand how chemicals are being used.
-
Achieve chemical compliance with ever-changing laws and regulations
In recent years many governments have required even greater disclosure of chemicals throughout the supply chain. Taking a proactive approach to improving workplace chemical safety and management keeps companies compliant locally and competitive globally.
Award-Winning Chemical Management Software Provider
Chemscape has been named a 5-star OHS Software and Technology Provider and has received the Reader’s Choice Award for Best SDS Management software by Canadian Occupational Safety Magazine.
Features of CHAMP
With CHAMP, organizations can take advantage of the wide range of powerful tools and functionalities:
Hazard Identification & Chemical Risk Assessment Tool
Understanding and identifying your workplace chemical hazards is the first step in controlling them. CHAMP completes a chemical hazard analysis of all your chemicals and assigns the product to an easy-to-understand Hazard Band from E (extreme hazard) to A (low hazard).
Chemical Approvals with Recommendations on Controls
Workers can request a product be added to CHAMP's software and they can add information on how the product is being used. CHAMP then re-calculates the risk of working with that chemical based on inputs from the user and current engineering controls. Products are approved for use using an objective and consistent approach with controls and expectations clearly communicated.
Substitution and Elimination of Hazardous Chemicals
Our chemical risk assessment software is designed to help you identify and eliminate/restrict chemicals of concern for your organization. CHAMP also has a built-in substitution tool to find safer substitutes during a product request with a less toxic profile.
Chemical Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment Tools
CHAMP allows you to cut through chemical complexity and create a proactive chemical management program within your organization. Extend your Industrial Hygiene Resources with CHAMP’s chemical management software to know and control your chemical hazards in seconds.
