Manage Your WHS Hazardous Chemicals Register in One Place.
Inventory by location, safety data sheets, threshold awareness and the controls your quantities require — the whole register, kept current and accessible.
The problem
A spreadsheet can't do the maths
Hazardous chemicals are one of the areas smaller businesses most often get wrong — not through negligence, but because the obligations depend on what you hold, how much, and where, and a spreadsheet can't work out which controls those quantities trigger or when a placard or manifest threshold is in play.
SteadyOn keeps the inventory, the safety data sheets and the threshold logic together, so you can see not just what you have but what WHS asks of you because of it.
What it manages
Inventory, SDS, thresholds, controls
Inventory
Record the hazardous chemicals you hold and how much — the foundation of your WHS chemical duties.
By location
Quantities are tracked per place they're stored or used, which is the grain WHS obligations apply to.
Safety data sheets
Keep every SDS attached and current, with expiry tracking so an out-of-date sheet doesn't slip through.
Threshold awareness
See which controls your quantities trigger, each with the threshold that fired it and the provision behind it.
Controls report
A clear view of the controls your holdings require, so you can tell what's in place and what's outstanding.
Reviews & expiry
Review dates and SDS expiry reminders keep the register current instead of a snapshot from last year.
Built for the WHS hazardous chemicals regime
SteadyOn is built around the hazardous chemicals duties in the model WHS Regulations — a current register, accessible SDS, and controls scaled to your quantities. It helps you manage and evidence your duties; always confirm placard, manifest and storage specifics with your WHS regulator — it is not legal advice.
- Inventory recorded by quantity and location
- Safety data sheets with expiry tracking
- Threshold awareness with the provision behind each
- Controls report showing what each quantity triggers
- Review dates to keep the register current
- Links chemicals to sites, actions and documents
SteadyOn helps you manage and evidence your obligations — it does not replace legal advice. Always check the current requirements with your regulator.
Frequently asked questions
What does a hazardous chemicals register need under WHS?+
The WHS Regulations require a PCBU to keep a register of hazardous chemicals used, handled or stored at the workplace — essentially a list of the chemicals with their current safety data sheets — and to keep it readily accessible to workers. Where quantities reach placard or manifest thresholds, further duties apply. SteadyOn keeps the register and SDS together and shows the controls your quantities trigger; it helps you manage and evidence your duties and is not a substitute for advice from your WHS regulator.
How are threshold quantities handled?+
As you record quantities by location, SteadyOn shows which controls those quantities trigger, the threshold that fired each one, and the provision behind it — so you understand the 'why', not just a yes/no. Always confirm placard and manifest obligations against your regulator's current requirements.
Why track quantities by location rather than the whole site?+
Because storage and handling obligations turn on where a chemical is kept and in what quantity, not on a site-wide total. Tracking per location is what makes the threshold awareness accurate.
Can I keep safety data sheets in the same place?+
Yes. Each chemical carries its SDS as an attachment with expiry tracking, so the sheet and the inventory entry stay together and current — and readily accessible, as the Regulations expect.
