Hazardous Substance Management in Mechanical Engineering
Starting Situation
A mid-sized mechanical engineering company works with a wide range of hazardous substances – from cooling lubricants and solvents to welding consumables. The associated safety data sheets are currently managed in paper folders. Assigning personal protective equipment to individual substances and employees is unclear.
Challenge
Safety data sheets must be updated with every change. Correctly assigning PPE to employees and work areas is nearly impossible to guarantee manually. Review deadlines for hazardous substance assessments are sometimes missed. During inspections by regulatory authorities, consistent documentation is lacking.
Platform Deployment
Salvexis can provide a structured hazardous substance register here. Safety data sheets can be read in using AI and automatically assigned to the correct substances. The link to affected employees, work areas, and appropriate PPE is managed digitally. Automatic deadline reminders ensure no review dates are missed.
Impact & Added Value
Complete, instantly accessible documentation of all hazardous substances. Clear assignment of protective measures to people and areas. Reduced administrative effort through automation. Audit-readiness for regulators and professional associations.
