Maintaining an effective chemical inventory involves several key steps:
Identification: Label all chemicals with relevant information such as name, CAS number, and hazard classification. Documentation: Use a digital system or chemical inventory software to log all chemicals and their details. Regular Audits: Conduct periodic audits to update the inventory and check for discrepancies or expired chemicals. Storage Management: Store chemicals according to their compatibility and hazard class to prevent accidents. Training: Ensure all personnel are trained in chemical safety and inventory management procedures.
