When it comes to chemical management, EHS leaders face numerous ongoing challenges. These include ensuring the safety of employees, maintaining operations, remaining compliant and managing regulatory changes/demands. To help them meet these challenges, EHS providers often turn to software to save time and get more insights from their data.

“The autonomation brought to chemical management workflows through modern EHS software tools can drive numerous accuracy and efficiency benefits. Consequently, firms are increasingly deploying chemical management software within their EHS programmes. According to the recent survey from independent advisory firm Verdantix, 60% of respondents stated they are using chemical compliance software tools across multiple facilities.” Thomas Brown, Verdantix Industry Analyst.

Effective chemical management begins with an up-to-date chemical inventory. If a company does not know which chemicals are present in a product or workplace, it cannot identify potential hazards. EHS software helps companies get control of their chemical inventory by gaining visibility into all chemicals on hand. Whilst helpful, one challenge of using EHS software is its inability to track ongoing regulatory monitoring to stay ahead of regulation changes. This is where compliance management software can be a life-saver in providing a platform where users can access up-to-date regulatory information.

This is where Yordas Hive comes in.
