You can close chemical deviations by creating a risk management for the chemical. A product that breaches one of the project’s chemical requirements but has a completed risk management is excluded from the deviation count on the dashboard and from the Deviations menu.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Find the chemicals that need a risk management<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Open the project. On the dashboard, the My risk management<\/strong> tab in the Chemicals<\/strong> widget shows how many chemicals have deviations, how many have a completed risk management, and how many still need one.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Click Risk management<\/strong> in the menu on the left. The menu expands so you can choose between My risk management<\/strong> (chemicals you have added to the project) and Sub-contractors risk management<\/strong> (chemicals added by your sub-contractors).<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

3<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Click My risk management<\/strong>. The Chemical requirement status<\/strong> column shows whether each chemical meets the project’s requirements or has a deviation. Click the arrow next to the column name to sort the list so the deviations are listed together.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Start a risk management<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Note:<\/span> You can’t save along the way and continue later. If you close the window before you click Finish<\/strong> on the last step, everything you have filled in is lost.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

4<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Click the three dots to the right of the chemical and select Create Risk Management<\/strong>. From the same menu you can also select Browse SDS revisions<\/strong> to see other versions of the safety data sheet.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

5<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A new window opens with an 8-step process. The first step, Load data from company template<\/strong>, is optional. Click Continue without template<\/strong> to fill in everything from scratch, or click Select<\/strong> next to a template in the list to load its data.

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Risk assessment, elimination and substitution<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

6<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Select the Frequency of use<\/strong> and Exposure level<\/strong> for the chemical. Click the info icon next to Exposure level<\/strong> to see examples of what each level means. The system then calculates the risk assessment value. On the right, Risk level statuses<\/strong> shows the limits used to classify the risk as Low, Medium or High. Click Next step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

7<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The next step asks whether the chemical can be eliminated. Click Eliminate<\/strong> if you can use a technical process instead of the chemical, write a comment (required) and click Finish<\/strong> \u2013 the risk management is then complete. To go on with the process instead, click Continue to substitution<\/strong>, optionally add a comment, and click Next step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

8<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In Chemical substitution<\/strong>, look for a less hazardous chemical to replace it with \u2013 either from a company substitution group (Load chemicals from company substitution groups<\/strong>) or by searching in Cobuilder Supply (Search in Cobuilder Supply<\/strong>). Read more in How to create a chemical substitution group<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

9<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tick the alternative product in the results and click Compare<\/strong>. The system shows the risk values for both chemicals side by side, with the original’s Frequency of use<\/strong> and Exposure level<\/strong> preselected \u2013 adjust them for the new product if needed. Select No substitution<\/strong> or Make substitution<\/strong>, write a comment explaining why (required), and click Next step<\/strong>. For a full walkthrough of this step, see How to substitute a chemical using the substitution group<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Measures and personal protective equipment<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

10<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

If the chemical was neither eliminated nor substituted, the process continues with Technical measures<\/strong> and then Organizational measures<\/strong>. Both steps are optional: select measures from the dropdown, add a comment if you want, and click Next step<\/strong>. Comments are not translated automatically.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

11<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In Select personal protective equipment<\/strong>, choose the equipment that is used. When you select one item, equipment that can’t be combined with it is marked Not applicable due to current selection<\/strong>. The more relevant equipment you select, the lower the health risk (Health risk level with protective equipment<\/strong>) \u2013 but only select equipment that is actually used when working with the chemical. Note the warnings on this page: you should consider PPE even if the chemical’s labelling shows no health hazard, and by selecting PPE you confirm that the conditions for its proper use are met. Write a Conclusion<\/strong> (required) and click Next step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Final conclusion and follow-up<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

12<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The last step, General risk level conclusion<\/strong>, shows a suggested General risk management status level<\/strong>, which you can change if needed. Add a comment if anything is missing to meet the authorities’ requirements for risk evaluation, and write a Final comment<\/strong> (required). The page also lists points a)\u2013k) from FOR-2011-06-1357 (the Norwegian regulation on the performance of work), which the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority considers particularly important for the risk assessment. Click Finish<\/strong> at the top right.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

13<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

If you have the Company Admin role, click Save as new template<\/strong> at the top of the completed risk management to reuse it for other chemicals.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div>

Comply:<\/span> Upgrade to Ensure to save a risk management as a template.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

At the bottom of the completed risk management, Activity history<\/strong> shows the date and which user made changes to the risk management.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

14<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

When you open Chemical list<\/strong> from the menu on the left, chemicals with a completed risk management are marked with a shield icon next to their status.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u2713 You have now completed a risk management for the chemical. If it had a deviation from the project’s chemical requirements, it is now excluded from the deviation count on the dashboard and from the Deviations menu.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
