Chemical Management System

The system ensures that all documentation related to chemicals is up-to-date and complies with strict European and international chemical regulations, such as REACH, SOLAS, and ILO. Additionally, it offers various functionalities, including an exposure log for the crew, safety data sheets for the products, a substance register, and a thorough risk assessment of chemicals on board your ship.

Accessible Everywhere

The chemical management system is accessible both online and offline on various devices (PCs, tablets, and mobile phones) anywhere in the world, and it is also available through a mobile application.

Compliance with ILO Guidelines

Regarding the guidelines of the International Labour Organization (ILO), an important aspect focuses on ensuring that all chemicals are assessed for potential hazards. In the chemical management system, this assessment is performed by determining the hazard level of each chemical on a scale of 1-5 for each HSE category (Health, Safety/Fire Hazard, and Environment).

Another essential ILO aspect involves establishing a mechanism for employers to obtain information from suppliers about the chemicals used on board the ship. In the system, this information is available, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and recommendations for protective clothing and precautions. This enables you as an employer to take appropriate measures to promote safety on board.

Chemical Regulation

REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals. This is a European (EU) regulation that came into force on June 1, 2007. The main objective of these environmental regulations is to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment against the harmful effects of chemicals.

Although REACH primarily applies to the production, processing, and trade of chemicals and mixtures, regulations have also been established for the use of chemicals on ships in EU waters or during transport to and from EU ports.

The SOLAS Convention, fully known as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, is an international maritime treaty established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). This treaty, first established in 1914, encompasses comprehensive regulations and standards regarding the construction, equipment, and crewing of seagoing vessels. Additionally, it contains specific guidelines for the carriage of chemicals on ships in bulk.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) has established guidelines to ensure the safe use of chemicals, including on board ships. These standards promote the protection of workers from the hazards of chemicals and emphasize workers’ right to information about the chemicals used. The main goal of the ILO is to improve working conditions, ensure workers’ health, and minimize risks associated with chemical exposure.
