Always up to date 

Keeping track of the chemicals, in accordance with current legal requirements, can be very challenging. Before E-CO Energi had EcoOnline, they had to track their chemicals in ring binders. It was a challenge at E-CO Energi to keep this “up to date” at all times. For example, it took a lot of their time to always obtain the latest safety data sheets.

Good overview

The use of EcoOnline has given E-CO Energi a much better overview of the use of chemicals and the risks associated with this. The system has ensured that they always have up-to-date safety data sheets. In addition, they can extract useful reports in relation to inventory, risk assessment, exposure and more. They now have a chemical manager per location/department who keeps the documentation for the chemical work up to date.

Less time consuming

EcoOnline is also very receptive to improvement suggestions, and customer service helps if anyone has any questions. E-CO Energi also has a dedicated contact at EcoOnline who delivers a first class service! Furthermore, they see that the notifications they get in the database (e.g. new SDS, need for new risk assessment, automatic exposure warnings, etc.) make the work easier and less time-consuming for our chemical safety managers.
