Does your Chemdoc Inventory accurately reflect the products on your site ? Does it include all new products introduced in 2016 ? Have all retired products been removed ? Do you know the quantities of flammable or other hazardous products you have on site ? If you answered No to any of the above questions, the Chemdoc team can help you? We offer our existing customers an on-site chemical inventory review. We will take a detailed inventory (including quantities) of all chemical products stored in all areas of your site. Inventory results are uploaded directly to Chemdoc. The review is charged at a daily rate so you only pay for the time spent on site.
