chemical register etc
Are there schools out there using an alternative to chemwatch. If so how well are your needs met.
Just wondering what other schools may be using.

Re: chemical register etc
We have always well for over 18 years had our chemical register for Science on spread sheet or exel. The teachers like this one, if they want to looking up what chemical this school has. But we also have one with chemwatch.

Re: chemical register etc
I use Chemwatch for labels and some safety data sheets. The chemical manifest was on Chemwatch but I've been given the okay to transfer it to a spreadsheet. I will need to save it so there is remote access as well as keeping a hard copy in the office.
By having it on a spreadsheet, I can have the information in a clear format that everyone can understand. I can easily add chemicals/substances that aren't listed on the on-line mob. The advantage of Chemwatch is that it is easy to log on anywhere to gain access to the manifest.

Re: chemical register etc
I did not put it clear as I am wondering if there are any schools using a data base other than chemwatch.
Re: chemical register etc

Re: chemical register etc
I was approached recently by an australian company called "MSDS", they stated that they have a number of schools using their data base. So I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone is using it or something similar.

Re: chemical register etc
Wasn't there another post recently about this company? We use Chemwatch here, and don't see any need to change UNLESS something more specific to schools becomes available. What is the cost of this other company? Comparable to Chemwatch?

Re: chemical register etc
I had a call from them last week.They are called MSDS.com.au
As far as I know they are not school specific but competition to Chemwatch.
