Chemical Management Officers

Chemical Managers no longer have to go through redundant re-approvals for products used consistently, no matter which facility they end up in or whether they are delivered in different containers or across multiple storage and inventory locations..

Suppliers

Suppliers across any industry can skip the data entry process for already-approved products.

Vendors

Vendors can add their product's information, including physical and chemical properties, directly into the software, seamlessly initiating a material approval request that is easy for reviewers to approve and easily scales for their entire chemical inventory.

Environmental and Safety Reviewers

EHS Managers have access to the same database (if allowed by access rights reflecting corporate hierarchy) where on-site products are assessed and accounted for, thus expediting approval and reducing compliance risks.

How Can I Reduce Compliance Gaps in Chemical and Product Approval Workflows?

Centralize approvals with ERA-EHS to implement a risk-based review path, link regulations, and document sign-offs to support regulatory compliance. Doing so helps reduce unmanaged risk, strengthen chemical safety decisions, and create an auditable record for OSHA and EPA programs.

What’s Needed When a New Product Is Introduced On-Site?

You’ll need to submit the product’s safety data sheets (SDSs), any supporting safety data, and other available data sheets. From there, information such as intended use, storage location, and quantities is also vital to track. ERA-EHS provides a platform that captures structured data, identifies applicable chemicals, and ties data into your chemical inventory for downstream inventory and reporting needs.

How Can I Manage Multi-Facility Approvals?

With ERA-EHS, easily grant role-based access for suppliers, manufacturing teams, and reviewers so that each party can contribute while being restricted to what they own. Status tracking, automated alerts, and real-time visibility help manage approvals across sites without losing content, no matter how complex the industry workflows are.

How Can I Align Product Details Across Inventory and Reporting?

ERA-EHS chemical management software ensures that approved products are properly managed to support reporting, chemical inventory management, and other tasks without re-entering the same information. Maintaining data continuity across your organization helps achieve efficient and accurate regulatory reporting, risk management reviews, and waste management tracking, all while keeping approvals aligned with the current product formulation.

ERA software ROCKS - helps save time

ERA's programs are a HUGE life-saver for me. I'm able to get a lot of regulatory reports done in hours vs weeks. Specifically TRI, Tier II, and various emissions reports/inventories. I'm now working on adding additional modules for safety and other reports.

My company has used this software for 21 years

ERA designed reports specific to our needs and have added to and updated those reports as environmental laws changed. Our finishing material suppliers submit their information directly to ERA, which makes our record-keeping much easier.
