Notifications

What is on the page

• Tabs: All, Unread, SDS Expiry, Compliance, Risk Assessment and System.
• Each notification has a title, a short explanation, how long ago and the location. An unread notification is shown in bold, with a dot.
• Urgent appears only for a high or very high risk, or a calculation above the limit, that has no measure recorded yet. Once the measure is there, it reads Resolved.
• When a product is on several lists, those matches are shown together in one notification.

Types of notification

• SDS expires soon and SDS expired.
• Workplace card review due.
• Risk assessment review recommended.
• High risk without a measure, or a calculation above the limit without a measure.
• A product on a regulatory list (CMR, SZW, ZZS, SVHC, REACH) or on a Custom list.
• Subscription limit warning.

Chemspark checks every day, even when nobody logs in.

What you can do

• Clicking a notification marks it as read and opens the page where the work is: for an SDS the product page, for a list match Compliance, for a high risk the measures in Risk Assessment.
• Mark All as Read.
• The bin removes the notification from your own list.
• Preferences opens the Notification Preferences. The same settings are under Settings, at Set up notifications. Changes are saved automatically.

Notification preferences

• Risk Assessment Alerts: per route (Inhalation Risk, Dermal Risk, Fire Risk) on or off; for inhalation and fire also from High or Very high only.
• Compliance Alerts: on or off, and per list: CMR Substances, SZW Substances, ZZS Substances, SVHC Substances, REACH Authorization List, REACH Restriction List and the Custom Lists. Plus List Update Alerts.
• Other Alerts: expired or expiring SDS, risk assessment review, workplace card review and subscription limit.
• Locations (admins only): All locations, or Specific locations only.

Typical tasks

• Dealing with a high risk: open the notification and record a measure in Risk Assessment. See 'Measures and the worklist'.
• An expired SDS: the notification opens the product page, ready to replace the SDS. All expired SDSs per supplier are on SDS updates. See 'Keeping SDSs current'.
• A list match: the notification opens Compliance, already filtered on the product. See 'Compliance and the CMR registration'.
• Fewer notifications: under Preferences, switch off the lists or routes that do not apply to the organisation.

Who can do what

Every user has their own notifications and chooses their own preferences. An admin can also pick a location at the top and choose which locations send notifications. When 'SDS expires soon' starts applies to the whole organisation; an admin sets it under Settings.
