Chemical risk assessment without the chemistry anxiety
If you have just one hazard-labelled product (cleaning agents, glue, paint, welding gas) you need a chemical risk assessment. Verkta gets it done in an afternoon.
Who does the requirement apply to?
Every company where employees work with, or can be exposed to, hazardous chemical substances and materials. That covers far more than chemical companies: trades, hairdressers, cleaning, garages, manufacturing and agriculture. The requirement is a written assessment, kept up to date, with employees instructed in the findings.
Chemical inventory
Register products with hazard statements (H-statements), use, storage and protective equipment, in one place, always current.
SDS management
Store the safety data sheet date and get flagged when it is over 3 years old and should be renewed with the supplier.
Substitution assessment
Document whether the product can be replaced with something less hazardous, the question every inspector asks.
Print-ready documentation
The entire chemical risk assessment can be printed for inspections and for instructing employees.
Protective equipment per product
Note gloves, goggles and respirators directly on the product, so employee instruction follows automatically.
Part of your overall risk assessment
The chemical assessment lives next to your workplace risk assessment and action plan: one system, one overview, one calm inspection.
Every feature, in detail
Full transparency about what the chemical risk assessment does. Every line corresponds to something the system actually does.
The chemical inventory
- Every product in one place
Register every hazard-labelled product with name, use and storage location. The list IS your statutory overview.
- Hazard statements (H-statements)
Record each product's H-statements so the risk is documented per product, e.g. H225 (flammable) or H319 (eye irritation).
- Protective equipment per product
Gloves, goggles, respirators: the equipment is noted on the product, so instruction follows automatically.
- SDS date with ageing flag
Store the safety data sheet date, the system flags it when it is over 3 years old and should be renewed with the supplier.
- Substitution assessment per product
Document whether the product can be replaced with something less hazardous: the question every inspector asks, and now you have the answer ready.
Documentation and instruction
- Print-ready chemical risk assessment
The entire assessment prints as one document, for inspections, employee instruction or the OHS binder.
- Basis for employee instruction
Product + H-statements + protective equipment is exactly what the instruction duty requires employees to know.
- Part of your overall risk assessment
The chemical assessment lives next to your workplace risk assessment and action plan: one system, one overview, one calm inspection.
- Industry templates ask about chemicals
The trades, manufacturing and hospitality questionnaire templates include targeted chemical questions, so the employees' experience is captured too.
Legal & compliance
- Mandatory with one hazard-labelled product
The chemical risk assessment duty applies as soon as employees can be exposed to just one hazard-labelled product, cleaning agents count.
- The successor to workplace instructions
The chemical risk assessment replaced Danish workplace usage instructions (APB) in 2019. The requirement is a written assessment, kept current, with instruction.
- Hits far more than chemical companies
Hairdressers, trades, cleaning, garages, manufacturing and agriculture: the rules follow the use, not the industry.
- Included in the risk assessment module
The chemical assessment costs nothing extra. It is part of the risk assessment module and the Complete plan.
Security & operations
- Encryption throughout
All traffic is TLS-encrypted, and data at rest is encrypted in EU data centres in Frankfurt.
- Organisational separation
Every query is bound to your organisation, data cannot cross between customers.
- Complete audit log
Creating and changing chemicals is logged with timestamp and responsible person.
- Self-service data export
The chemical inventory is included in the full JSON export of all company data.
- Certified infrastructure
Verkta runs on ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certified infrastructure (Vercel, Neon). Verkta itself is not yet certified, we say so honestly until that changes.
