Abstract

Federal, state, and other agencies issue authoritative instruments for the purpose of establishing and applying sound business management principles. These external instruments are used to establish management objectives and expectations (requirements), and assign responsibilities. The requirements from these external instruments are numerous, subject to interpretation, and not easily applied by workers. In the field of chemistry, being burdened with ensuring that these safety requirements are being met can quickly become an exercise in complexity. By using effective chemical inventory management, many of these requirements are met. A well-managed inventory system can address Hazard Identification, Storage Incompatibility, Hazard Minimization, and Flammable Liquid concerns before they become issues. In this paper, the need of an inventory of chemicals stored in a particular location is articulated, the use of commercially available chemical inventory software programs and their accompanying databases to seamlessly meet hazardous material issues are demonstrated, and an approach to get buy-in from chemical workers to maintain the chemical inventory is presented.

化学品库存管理:控制危险物品的关键
联邦、州和其他机构发布权威文件,目的是建立和应用健全的企业管理原则。这些外部工具用于建立管理目标和期望(需求),并分配责任。这些外部仪器的要求很多,需要解释,而且不容易被工人应用。在化学领域,确保满足这些安全要求的负担很快就会变成一项复杂的工作。通过使用有效的化学品库存管理,可以满足许多这些要求。一个管理良好的库存系统可以在问题出现之前解决危险识别、存储不兼容、危险最小化和易燃液体问题。在本文中,阐述了储存在特定地点的化学品清单的必要性,演示了使用商业上可用的化学品清单软件程序及其附带的数据库来无缝地满足危险物质问题,并提出了一种获得化学工人支持以维护化学品清单的方法。
