Department schools change in Chemwatch

[trish armstrong]

Hi everyone,
Just logged on and found information on how department schools can now use chemwatch gold.
I found the information by going into the intranet and reading Schoolbiz.
So check it out as it may help you if you are using chemwatch.
Trish.
Ps, it says we now have to log on as we do for manifests!

Thanks for that. It seems to have preserved the manifest. Thank goodness. Otherwise a bit cumbersome with vast numbers of each chemical according to supplier. Guess we'll get used to it.
Cheers,
Gwen

Very happy just got my user and password and can now get on and all I have to do is have a play to see how things work

Hi everyone. When I rang the Western NSW phone number to get a user name and password ,the phone wasn't connecting. Anyone else out west had this problem?
Cheers

Been trying to ring for 2 days. No-one answers.

I've got my user name and password and it's worked fine until today. Now it's putting me into 'Chemffx trial' and I can't access any MSDSs. Anyone else got the same problem?

Carol, I've got the same problem!

I've emailed our regional OHS Officer, so hopefully we can get it sorted soon.

[Labbie]

Me too, I did the live chat thingo on Chemwatch, and Anna is fixing the problem, seems all DET schools had the same problem.

[lizzieb]

Thanks, Sue.

Have logged out and in again, and Chemgold 3 page comes up, so Anna must have been working on it pronto!

However I am still unable to view information for specific chemicals. Will keep trying.

Would appreciate it if anyone who has some success would keep the rest of us posted...

[lizzieb]

Just tried yet again after my last post, and SUCCESS!

Yay! Now to learn my way around this new program.

[lurra]

I just got in no trouble but the computer's very slow today

[Narelle01]

I've had no probs getting in either, now fiddling around seeing what all the buttons are for.
Worked our what CHINA is LOL...

[Labbie]

So fill us in please, what is china all about??????????

[Labbie]

I can not find how to add a new chemical, can any one help me. I can edit, but not add.

[Narelle01]

Chemical Incidents Advisory (ChInA) report for SODIUM CHLORIDE
Its that coloured triangle
Flammabilty, health hazard, instability...(sounds like a few people i know)

[Whspa]

Excellent! I've just come back to the computer, logged in and there it is! And yes, now I have to familiarise myself with the new set-up.

[lurra]

Try Flour that will put a smile on your face

[fibreweb]

I've been sitting here trying to work out this new Chemwatch to little avail.
It seems to add something to your manifest you actually do it through the Materials tab! and it takes me about 10 inutes per chemical. With 372 chemicals in my store room I can see it will be a looooooong job
I did as Lurra sugested and typed in Flour.
Fist on the list was cornflour so entered that.
from the MSDS if you swallow cornflour you need to immediatly contact your doctor or the poisons centre!

[lurra]

I wonder if that means we should not ingest flour and does that mean their will be a lot of hungary labbies out there Sorry

[linotas]

Ok, I will start by saying I have never had any training in chemwatch and have had to try and teach myself. The online workbook is atrotious to try and work out so my (somewhat simple )question is:

I have created my stores and now I want to add some chems to them. How on earth do I do it? The manual talks about copying folders, but again, I cant get anything into my folders.

I know it is probably going to be a really simple answer so go easy on me lol
