Chemical Management Module Workbook

Chemical Management Module Implementation Workbook

Updated over a week ago

Overview

The Chemical Management solution is used to store and classify Safety Data Sheets associated with different chemicals. It consists of two modules: ‘Safety Data Sheets’ and ‘Site Chemical Register’. It enables the management of chemicals and their associated Safety Data Sheets at both a company and site level.

Your Implementation Manager will share the due date for completing this workbook in the project plan.

Key Features

Each key feature mentioned below builds upon the last diagram to enhance understanding before the ‘bringing it all together’ diagram, which shows all features and the flow of the module.

Workflow

The Workflow outlines the key stages that a module works through and is used as the framework for other aspects of the build. Each key stage is represented by a bubble icon, and any relevant checks that may interact with the flow are written on the progress lines.

Involvements

Involvements capture the People Involved in the Chemical Management process. There is one primary ‘Chemical Owner’ involvement within the Chemical Management solution, with additional owners able to be added.

Involvements are represented by the addition of the blue person boxes below (also known as swim lanes).

Risk Matrix

The Chemical Management Module uses a Risk Matrix to determine the Inherent and Residual Risk Rating. The same Risk Matrix is used across the account and is represented in the flow diagram with a grid icon.

Notifications and Actions

This module includes Notifications and Actions to assist your users in successfully actioning and resolving records. All notifications, including being advised of an action that has been set, are emailed to the relevant person.

In our flow diagram, Notifications and Actions are represented by the below icons:

Additional Features

Indicators

Indicators gather valuable information from the module to provide a visual reference on the record page and in registers.

Document Export

A prebuilt document export is available in each of the modules containing basic details of the chemical, a QR code to link to the record, and the applicable hazard classification images.

Overview of Configuration

The incidents module aims to achieve a best practice solution; however, we understand that each client is unique. The following configuration can accommodate your unique needs:

  • 10 question changes (that are not mandatory as part of the automations) to each form.

    • Changing a question (question text, help details)

    • Adding new questions to a form

  • Marking any question as mandatory

  • Changing the order of questions in a form

  • Removal of questions (that are not mandatory as part of the automations)

  • Notification adjustments –

    • Adjustments to the body text and logo of the prebuilt notifications

    • Up to 3 new configurable notifications for this module

    • Customise the timing of overdue time-based notifications

Configuration options are referred to as ‘Configuration Requirements’. Further information on how to complete your Configuration Requirements is outlined in the next section.

Configuration Requirements and Actionable Items

After the walkthrough of the Chemical Management solution, you will be provided access for a more in-depth look. We encourage you to take this opportunity to review the specifics of the module and complete the configuration requirements below.

There are two supporting Guidance documents for this Module:

  • “Question Guidance” provides detailed information on the types of questions you can include in forms.

  • “Risk Matrix Guidance and Workbook” provides details and configuration needed to configure a custom matrix. Please note that there is one custom matrix possible per account so you may have already configured your matrix in a previous module.

Safety Data Sheet Form Changes:

This includes the main form and chemical detail display form.

Form changes can include:

  • 10 question changes (that are not mandatory as part of the automations)

    • Changing a question (question text, help details)

    • Adding new questions to a form

  • Marking a question as mandatory

  • Changing the order of questions in a form

  • Removal of questions (that are not mandatory as part of the automations)

Approval Form Changes:

The Approval form is responsible for marking the chemical as usable on site or not.

Form changes can include:

    • Changing a question (question text, help details)

    • Adding new questions to a form

  • Marking a question as mandatory

  • Changing the order of questions in a form

  • Removal of questions (that are not mandatory as part of the automations)

Risk Assessment Form Changes:

The Risk Assessment form is used to rate overall risks and the likelihood and consequence of those risks. It is also used to capture controls for the risk. Note: if utilising the Donesafe Standard Risk management modules then ignore this section and refer to the applicable workbooks instead.

Form changes can include:

  • 10 question changes (that are not mandatory as part of the automations)

    • Changing a question (question text, help details)

    • Adding new questions to a form

  • Marking a question as mandatory

  • Changing the order of questions in a form

  • Addition of your logo to the Notifications

  • Changes to the body text of the Notification

  • Changes to the timing of overdue time-based notifications

The current notifications are outlined below, and space has been provided if you wish to change the body text of the message. All notifications will contain a link to the record.

Changing the text is not necessary if the current message suits your needs.

Questions?

During the implementation of this module, project and Hypercare period, your Implementation Manager is happy to provide support and guidance, and we encourage you to reach out with any queries.

At the completion of the Hypercare period, your Implementation Manager will advise you of your new contact for support.
