Who We Are:

Chemical Safety has been in the industry for chemical management and environmental compliance for over 18 years. Developed at UC Berkeley and refined at some of the nations leading companies and institutions, EMS has provided measurable improvements in all areas of lifecycle chemical management and a direct positive impact to organizations’ bottom line.  Chemical Safety Software distinguishes itself from other software providers with extensive domain expertise, leading technology, years of experience and unparalleled service.

What We Offer:

Chemical Safety offers an integrated suite of components for complete chemical management. Our technologies optimize chemical management significantly cutting costs, time and resources. In addition, the EMS software simplifies regulatory compliance reporting under local, State, Federal and International rules and regulations.

Chemical Safety’s EMS software suite is a powerful, comprehensive system, yet is a flexible turn-key solution. In other words, EMS capabilities are extensive and cover all areas of chemical management, both onsite and at the enterprise level, while being completely customizable to meet any organization’s specific industry, regulatory and corporate needs and/or requirements. EMS reports can be produced automatically or on demand, and can be exported in a variety of file formats and automatically emailed as necessary. Moreover, software modules and access rights can be assigned as needed for different users and the EMS components may all be acquired individually.

Included with the software is a chemical dictionary that includes hazard, chemical and safety data under US, NAFTA, EU and other international labeling, storage and reporting rules and regulations for tens of thousands of chemicals.

One key component of the EMS software is that it has been designed for use across all different sectors within the organization:
