Access Safety Data Sheets and Chemical Safety Requirements With ChemAlert Access for ECA WA Members

ChemAlert is a trusted chemical management system that helps businesses work safely with hazardous substances. For electrical contractors, apprentices, and supervisors who regularly handle solvents, adhesives, and corrosive products, having access to reliable chemical safety information is essential. That’s why ECA WA business members receive free access to ChemAlert and its library of Safety Data Sheets (SDS).

What is ChemAlert?

ChemAlert is an industry-leading platform for managing hazardous chemicals in the workplace. It provides up-to-date ChemAlert SDS (Safety Data Sheets) so that businesses can meet their legal obligations under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations 2022.

Through ChemAlert, you can:

Search thousands of SDS for hazardous chemicals.
Ensure your workplace Hazardous Chemical Register is compliant.
Quickly access chemical safety data in the ChemAlert mobile app.

ECA WA business members get complimentary access to the essentials, saving businesses thousands in subscription fees.

Why Electrical Businesses Need ChemAlert

Electrical work often involves exposure to hazardous chemicals such as:

Cleaning solvents.
Adhesives and resins.
Corrosive materials like acids and alkalis.

By law, every business using these substances must:

Maintain an up-to-date Hazardous Chemical Register that lists all hazardous chemicals on-site.
Provide SDS that are less than five years old.
Make SDS readily accessible to workers and emergency personnel.

Failure to comply can result in fines of $5,000 to $600,000 in WA, not to mention the risk of serious workplace injury. Access to ChemAlert makes compliance straightforward and cost-effective.
