- Regulatory Alignment: Support OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom), GHS and WHMIS requirements by ensuring every chemical has a current, accessible SDS on file.
Simplify EPA Tier II and Regulatory Reporting
The Chemical Inventory Tier II Log shows which chemicals are in which materials, where and how they are stored and how much is on-site, giving you the data you need to complete EPA Tier II Inventory reports without pulling information from multiple systems.
Key Capabilities
- Tier II Report Preparation: Capture and organize chemical inventory data in the format required for EPA Tier II submissions under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).
- Storage Location Mapping: Document where each chemical is stored, the storage method and the maximum and average daily quantities to meet Section 312 reporting requirements.
- Multi-Regulation Support: Use centralized chemical data to support compliance across EPA, OSHA, state and local reporting frameworks, not just Tier II.
- Audit-Ready Documentation: Generate the records inspectors need, organized by facility, chemical and reporting period, so you are prepared when regulators request documentation.
Monitor Waste Accumulation and Disposal
Track waste streams alongside your chemical inventory to maintain a complete lifecycle view of hazardous materials. Monitor accumulation rates, storage durations and disposal activities to stay within generator status thresholds and reduce the risk of RCRA violations.
Key Capabilities
- Waste Stream Tracking: Record waste types, accumulation rates and quantities to maintain visibility into your facility's waste profile.
- Accumulation Date Tracking: Record the "Accumulation Since" date for stored waste so your team has a clear reference point for managing generator category time limits.
- Disposal Documentation: Maintain records of waste disposal activities, vendors and manifests alongside your chemical inventory data.
Support GHS Labeling and Hazard Communication Compliance
Ensure every container in your facility has the right hazard information associated with it. The module stores hazardous properties, GHS classifications and handling requirements for each material, giving your team the data they need to support compliant labeling and effective hazard communication programs.
Key Capabilities
- Hazardous Properties Records: Store GHS classification data, hazard statements and precautionary statements for each material.
- Right-to-Know Compliance: Provide employees with immediate access to chemical hazard information and associated SDS documents to meet OSHA HazCom and state Right-to-Know requirements.
- Container-Level Data: Associate hazard data with specific materials and storage locations so labeling decisions are based on current, accurate information.
Put AI to Work Across Your Chemical Data
EHS Insight's AI capabilities extend into your chemical management workflows. Use natural language to query your chemical inventory, surface compliance gaps and generate reports, all without building custom queries or exporting data to spreadsheets.
With the EHS Insight MCP Connector, the first native MCP integration in the mid-market EHS space, your chemical inventory data connects directly to AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Ask a question in plain English and get answers drawn from your live chemical data.
What AI-Powered Chemical Management Looks Like
