Chemical Database Improves IH Compliance

VelocityEHS announced the launch of a global chemical & OEL database as part of a major enhancement to its Industrial Hygiene (IH) software solution. The database makes it easier to track and manage workplace stressors and occupational exposure limits (OELs) across virtually all locations and regulatory jurisdictions. Companies with any level of IH expertise can now access the advanced regulatory intelligence needed to drive compliance and achieve the highest standards of workplace health and safety.

The proprietary database gives EHS professionals the ability to select from a growing list of over 1,700 unique workplace chemical and physical stressors, and more than 15,000 harmonized global OELs. This includes OELs from international standards like ACGIH TLVs, NIOSH RELs, OSHA PELs, German MAKs, and Australian Workplace Exposure Standards (WES).

Quarterly database updates ensure stressors and OELs are consistent with the latest regulatory requirements and eliminate the need for companies to build and maintain custom lists of stressors for each of their facilities. With the launch of its database, VelocityEHS has simplified and reduced the time it takes to implement an IH program and at the same time, enable its customers to adapt to changing workplace hazards and regulatory requirements.  

The Global Chemical & OEL Database is just one of the powerful, innovative features included in VelocityEHS’ comprehensive Industrial Hygiene solution. Designed and built by Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIHs) to help users maintain AIHA and global best-practice IH programs, VelocityEHS Industrial Hygiene includes Respirator Fit Testing, IH Sample & Equipment Management, Medical Surveillance, and IH Program Management.
