Chemicals

Investigator allows the user to create a Chemical Library in order to identify and record chemicals that are involved in Incidents. These Chemicals could be the cause of the Incident or released as a result of the Incident. All Chemicals used in the organization's processes or which are a result of the organization's processes should be included in the Library.

To access the Chemical Library, select Administration> Investigator Libraries> Chemicals on the Menu Bar.

Add/Edit Chemicals​

The user navigates to Administration>Selections.
