CHEMTREC’s trained and experienced staff, provides Level 1 emergency information to help mitigate HAZMAT/Dangerous Goods incidents 24-hours per day/seven days per week. CHEMTREC relays vital data to manufacturers and shippers that an incident has occurred. CHEMTREC also acts as a hub to connect first responders with manufacturers, shippers and carriers. Clients are immediately notified that CHEMTREC has received an emergency call regarding their product or shipment.
OVERVIEW CHEMTREC was established in 1971 by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) to serve the chemical industry as a public service hotline for emergency responders, such as fire fighters and law enforcement, to obtain information and assistance for emergency incidents involving chemicals, hazardous materials and dangerous goods. In addition to the public service component, registration with CHEMTREC authorises shippers of hazardous materials and dangerous goods the right to portray the CHEMTREC phone number(s) on their shipping documents, safety data sheets (SDS) and hazard communications labels. The portrayal of the CHEMTREC phone numbers(s) helps registrants to comply with government regulations, which require shippers of hazardous materials to provide a 24-hour emergency telephone number on shipping documents and/or SDS for use in the event of an emergency involving hazardous materials or dangerous goods. CHEMTREC registrants receive detailed notification following each incident that CHEMTREC handles. CHEMTREC is linked to the largest network of chemical and hazardous material experts in the world, including chemical and response specialists, public emergency services, and private contractors.. VITAL STATISTICS

CHEMTREC can also provide SDS indexing of large volumes of SDS documents to add to your SDS library.
