Background
The Maritime Chemicals Database is a database of the products reported by Danish shipowners aboard their vessels. As they report a product, Seahealth monitor and release the product if the quality is acceptable. The database is routinely updated. Health and Safety at Sea software uses the data in the chemicals database amongst other things for drawing up workplace risk assessments and personal protection schedules.
The aim of Health and Safety at Sea is to make it easier to register chemical products aboard vessels and make it easier to draw up risk assessments for these products. The aim is for this to lead to healthier, safer use of chemical products aboard.
The programme also contains a workplace risk assessment module with the option of integration with the User Instruction module.
Website
The program also has a website. This you can access by the link in the left menu.
The website can be used by:
• General users
• Company chemicals officers
• Suppliers
General users
As a general user, you can see which products are in the database but cannot edit/make corrections to it.
Start the database and click on Search or Products in the top menu bar.
Company chemicals officers
If you are from one of the Danish ship-owners signed up to the database, you can get a password and user ID, after which you can search or add/cancel database products. By reporting a product you have to aware that Seahealth monitor and check the quality before the product is released in the database. This means, that a product will not be registrered until it a released. It is also possible to put in shipowner number (shipowners have to keep theese ajour).
Suppliers
As a registred supplier, you can also get a user ID and password, and then search and submit corrections to your own products. There is also the option of attaching electronic safety datasheets (pdf only) for your products.

News and discussion
Besides the actual database, a discussion forum has also been set up in which people can exchange their experiences, etc., with other users of the database.
Suppliers and companies also have the option of submitting news of interest to other users. News should have an occupational health interest to be acceptable on our news forum.
