Substitution
The substitution feature gives an overview of alternative chemicals that can be used to reduce risk at work.
Assess and document chemical substitution
Substitution (replacement) is a key measure for reducing risk when using hazardous chemicals. By replacing hazardous substances with safer alternatives, the business fulfils the substitution duty in the Norwegian Product Control Act (opens in a new tab) and contributes to its health, safety and environment (HSE) work. If new chemicals end up on a hazard list, the integrated chemical inventory is updated automatically with the relevant lists and the user is notified.
With this feature you can:
- Easily compare alternative chemicals to choose the most suitable for the job
- Get help from the system to prioritise which chemicals should be substituted
- Use AI and environmental certifications such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel (opens in a new tab) to identify safer, lower risk alternatives
- Get automatic alerts if chemicals end up on hazard lists
- See overview of substitutions made by other businesses
- Create and save detailed reports for documentation
