Partnership to keep workers safe in chemical environments

Ansell, a provider of chemical personal protective equipment (PPE), has partnered with Chemwatch to raise awareness of the risk and consequences of exposure to hazardous chemicals. The partnership will focus on leveraging and sharing mutual chemical safety advice.

The Chemwatch safety data sheet (SDS) database is now available to support the AnsellGUARDIAN Chemical Technical Expert team, by enriching the team’s capabilities in recommending appropriate PPE for customers’ specific hazards and related safety needs. The chemical information accessible through Chemwatch SDS, including on complex substances mixtures, provides advice for AnsellGUARDIAN customers around the world.

In turn, Chemwatch, which already provides SDS creation services to its customers and contains over 120 million SDSs in its database, will now offer enhanced chemical PPE recommendations powered by AnsellGUARDIAN Chemical. SDSs provided by Chemwatch will feature recommendations on appropriate Ansell PPE — with specific PPE product solutions included in Section 8: Exposure controls and personal protection for Chemwatch-authored SDS.
