Chemical Management System (CMS) The Chemical Management System (CMS) is a chemical information management software package which provides important safety information for the creation of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and in relation to the storage, handling and labelling of chemicals. It is accessible through the University's network and has a limited number of simultaneous inventory licences. The CMS can also assist in the retrieval of Worksafe Australia (WSA) format MSDSs, printing of labels and establishment of an inventory module for dangerous goods and hazardous substance storage. If an MSDS is not in the CMS database, Schools/Sections should notify the CMS to have an MSDS index loaded onto a computer in their School/Section. It is essential that Schools/Section ensure that manufacturers supply an MSDS when items are purchased and a copy of this MSDS is filed in the School/Section. Schools/Sections are able to custom-design their own labels and the CMS will extract the information for the label directly from the MSDS. The printing component is designed so that labels for Dangerous Goods, Hazardous Substances, Poisons, Decanted Hazardous Substances, Laboratory Chemicals, Waste Materials and others can be made. For all other issues such as creating an inventory, passwords or, a copy of a training DVD contact Rodney Teague via email Rodney.Teague@utas.edu.au |
