Join EcoOnline’s Chemical Safety experts, Max and Daryl, for a free webinar exploring how technology can support the complex process of substituting hazardous substances with safer alternatives.

At first glance, chemical substitution may seem straightforward – simply replace a hazardous substance with one that poses less risk. However, the reality is far more complex. Without the right approach, organisations can unintentionally swap one hazardous substance for another, achieving little to no improvement in safety or worse, introducing new complications such as additional monitoring requirements or compliance with different legislation. In some cases, significant time and effort may be spent on a substitution that ultimately delivers no real reduction in risk.

In this session, we’ll explore the practical and regulatory challenges that health and safety professionals face when approaching substitution. We’ll share real-world examples of where things can go wrong and, more importantly, how to get it right. We’ll also introduce digital tools that can help you make quicker, better-informed decisions to ensure your substitutions are truly safer. 

What you'll learn:

Why chemical substitution is often more complicated than it seems
What a regrettable substitution is and how to avoid them
The modern and easy way to substitute chemicals
The laws and requirements around chemical substitution
How digital tools can support confident, compliant decision-making
