Chemical Manager is available via a free app and used in conjunction with the broader Chemical Manager system.
In a world driven by regulations, traceability and risk assessment remain a basic requirement when working with chemicals.
Global safety and sustainability software provider EcoOnline has launched Chemical Manager in New Zealand, enabling users or safety teams to assess chemical risks, access Safety Data Sheets (SDS), substitute hazardous substances, monitor exposure, report on chemical compliance and protect workers.
Chemicals remain a critical point of risk in New Zealand, with many deaths annually from work-related illnesses, mainly due to exposure to hazardous substances. As a result, regulators across the region are raising the bar. In NZ, a new hazardous substances reporting regime and PFAS bans, even for the likes of firefighting foams, will significantly tighten oversight in 2026.
Meeting these requirements is critical, but so is protecting people, so comprehensive digital chemical management is now essential for organisations in construction, manufacturing and agriculture.
Access to Chemical Manager is available via a free app, which is used in conjunction with the broader Chemical Manager system, where all data and information are stored.
Given that much agricultural and horticultural work takes place remotely, being able to see information on safe handling when away from the main farm buildings, where a paper copy might be stored, ensures a wider understanding of potential risks, helped by an offline mode in the app if the users are in a no- or low-coverage area.
Chemical Manager is already used by thousands of organisations in over 70 industries across the UK, Europe and North America to help prevent avoidable accidents and work-related illnesses.
Beyond the downloadable apps, Chemical Manager can further support NZ organisations by helping with management and access to safety data sheets, assessment of chemical risks and exposure reduction. Visit www.ecoline.com
