How can I track chemical use and disposal and report to EPA?

SDS Manager can record new arrivals, usage and disposal of each chemical on each location, and make a report of the amounts for a period. You can use the report for regulatory reporting, for example to the EPA.

Record the amounts

Record each change in Manage Stock: click the Track Usage icon on the SDS and choose New arrival, Usage, Disposal or Adjustment. You can also move an amount to another location, for example when you split a large container. Read more: How can I edit the amount of a product on a location?

The quickest way for employees is to scan a QR code on the container. Secondary container labels show a tracking QR code when you switch on Show chemical tracking QR codes on secondary container labels on the Settings page. It is off by default.
