To create a hazardous substance directory, it makes sense to use database software for which there are different adaptations depending on the area of activity (e.g. chemical collection in a school, material store in a pharmacy , a chemical-pharmaceutical company, ...). In all cases it is stipulated that the associated safety data sheets must be printed out or digitally at hand, that access to and storage of the hazardous substances directory / warehouse list must be agreed with the management and that it is ensured that in the event of an emergency or danger (theft, fire, sabotage ) Information can be given to the police and fire brigade.
