    The challenge

    The Risk Assessment Challenge

    Chemical risk assessments are legally required but often inconsistent, time-consuming, and disconnected from actual SDS data. Common pain points include:

    Manual Hazard Classification

    Translating H-statements and GHS pictograms into hazard levels by hand is tedious, error-prone, and inconsistent across assessors.

    Disconnected from SDS Data

    Risk assessments done in spreadsheets or Word documents are disconnected from the actual SDS — when a data sheet is updated, the assessment becomes outdated.

    No Version History

    When regulations change or a supplier issues a revised SDS, there's no way to see what changed between assessment versions.

    Missing Regulatory Context

    Without automatic screening against SVHC, CMR, and ZZS lists, risk assessments miss critical regulatory context about the substances being assessed.

    The solution

    How Chemspark Automates Risk Assessments

    Chemspark connects your SDS data directly to the risk assessment workflow — so hazard levels, OEL values, and exposure estimates are always current.

    Automatic Hazard Classification

    Chemspark derives inhalation, dermal, and fire/explosion hazard levels directly from parsed SDS data — H-statements, OEL values, physical state, and boiling point.

    Smart Screening Worklist

    Before a full assessment, Chemspark screens each chemical through a quick screening step — determining whether it needs qualitative RA, quantitative measurement, or can be accepted as low risk.

    Exposure Estimation

    Select usage duration, ventilation type, and containment level to calculate exposure potential. Chemspark combines this with hazard data to produce a 1–5 risk score.

    Control Measure Recommendations

    Based on the risk level, Chemspark suggests practical control measures — from ventilation and PPE requirements to substance substitution.

    Assessment Version History

    Every assessment is versioned. When an SDS is updated, Chemspark flags the assessment for review and shows exactly what changed.

    Quantitative Assessment Support

    Enter measured concentrations from workplace air measurements and compare them against OEL values for quantitative exposure assessment.

    Department-Level Assessments

    Assess the same chemical differently per department — because exposure conditions in the lab differ from those on the production floor.

    Regulatory context

    Risk Assessments with Regulatory Context

    Chemspark enriches every risk assessment with compliance data, so you know not just the risk level but also the regulatory status of each substance.

    • SVHC screening — Know if a substance is on the Candidate List before you assess it
    • CMR classification — Automatically flag carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reprotoxic substances
    • National lists — the Dutch ZZS list is built in, and you can upload the national or sector list your own country works with
    • OEL integration — Occupational exposure limits pulled directly from SDS data into the assessment
    • SDS update review — Assessments flagged for review when the underlying safety data sheet changes

    Every risk assessment in Chemspark is backed by current SDS data and regulatory screening — not a static snapshot from months ago.
