Editing Chemical Hazard Classifications

Note: This feature requires the Chemical Inventory module licensed at your site.

Edit a chemical's hazard classifications when you need to remove and/or add to the hazard classification items shown under Additional Details on the Chemical Home page. You can assign and/or un-assign any number of hazard classification items until the chemical shows only the desired items. If you are a local site user, some assigned hazard classifications may appear in blue; these were assigned to the chemical by a Corporate user and can be un-assigned by a Corporate user only.

Some hazard classification items contain a blank (as in: Keep away from [___] ). When you assign an item containing a blank, be sure to fill in the blank with appropriate information. If an assigned item's blank is left empty, the item indicates this on the Chemical Home page with a warning () icon until the blank is filled in.

Comply Plus includes many standard hazard classifications, but if the list of available hazard classifications does not contain the items you need to assign, you can create the required hazard classifications and items. You can also hide some hazard classifications from the Chemical Home page, even when their items are assigned to the chemical. For details on these, see Administration: Hazard Classifications and Ratings.

To edit a chemical's hazard classifications:

Starting at the Chemical Hazard Classifications page (How do I get there?), do the following:

● To assign hazard classification items to the chemical: In the Available list, click any hazard classification category to expand its list of items. Select each item you want to assign to the chemical and click the assign (>>) button.

The selected classification items are assigned to the chemical and moved to the Assigned list. If any assigned item contains a blank (“[___]”), fill in that blank by clicking the item, entering text appropriate to the chemical in the field that appears at the bottom of the Assigned list, and clicking Save.

Note: When assigning an item from the Sphera-supplied Hazardous Not Otherwise Classified (GHS-CA) classification category, you can also select a pictogram to represent the item. When the item appears in the Assigned list, click the item, select the desired pictogram in the menu that appears below the list, and click Save.

● To remove hazard classification items from the chemical: In the Assigned list, click any hazard classification category to expand its list of assigned items. Select each item you want to remove from the chemical and click the remove (<<) button.

The selected classification items are removed from the chemical and moved to the Available list.

Note: If you are a local site user, Corporate-assigned classification items in the Assigned list appear in blue and can be removed by a Corporate user only.
