ChemAlert

The ChemAlert program is the University's primary source of safety information essential for managing chemical hazards. Staff and students should refer to this information prior to using any new chemical.

Purpose:

Curtin uses the ChemAlert system to:

  • Access to up-to-date Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for tens of thousands of products;
  • Print legally compliant labels in a range of sizes;
  • Maintain a register of chemicals stored throughout the University (visible to authorised users only);

Client IT Requirements

ChemAlert is accessible via your Internet browser on most PC, Macintosh, and mobile systems. However please note the following:

  • You can only access ChemAlert from a Curtin network due to licensing restrictions.
    • Access from a Curtin campus requires a connection to the Curtin network (Wired or WiFi).
    • Access off-site will require connection through the Library’s database service. A direct link is available above, where you will be asked for your Curtin Student/Staff login credentials.
  •  You may need to set your internet browser to allow pop-up windows from the ChemAlert web domain (chemalert.curtin.edu.au).

If you are experiencing IT difficulties please contact the DTS Services Desk.
