Chemical Safety’s EMS-CERS is a FREE program that allows companies of all sizes to identify, record and report their annual chemical inventories and related documentation quickly and hassle-free.

California Assembly Bill 2286 (AB2286) requires all regulated businesses and all regulated local government agencies (CUPAs) to use the internet to file Unified Program invormation now filed via paper copy. This includes facility data regarding hazardous material regulatory activities, chemical inventories, underground and above-ground storage tanks, and hazardous waste generation. It also includes CUPA data such as inspections and enforcement actions. All regulated businesses and Unified Program Agencies in the state of California must use the internet to file by January 1, 2013.

BEFORE YOU CAN REPORT YOUR REGULATED CHEMICALS YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE

With EMS-CERS businesses can easily record, update and report regulated chemical and related information in both paper and electronics formats using menus and one-click buttons with a program that is easy to learn and operate. Additionally, businesses can store and retrieve Material safety Data sheets (MSDS), search for safer chemical alternatives and manage facility operations.

The EMS-CERS Quick Start home page gives you one-click access to your most importatnt activities, all in one place.  It presents a big-picture view of how everything fits together, and helps guide you from one task to the next.

EMS-CERS allows you to easily import data that has been previously uploaded to the CAL-EPA Electronic Reporting System (CERS) to review, manage and update this data locally, using easy data entry screens and chemical reference tables.  Then, a file can be uploaded back to the CAL-EPA Electronics Reporting System.

With EMS-CERS, you can also upload your inventory for the first time, if one has not been previously uploaded.

Since many CUPA agencies do not yet support electronic reporting, you can use EMS-CERS to update and submit a printed version of the Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) with all the forms required for compliance.  For a list of agencies that accept electronic reporting, click here.

The Regulatory Dashboard of EMS-CERS allows you to access information about your business and update all the records and plans before submitting them to your reporting agency.
