Developing an In-House Application for Hazardous Chemicals Management

In Europe, unaligned regulatory requirements between
the EU and
member states often require that researchers and educators undertake
additional labor intensive activities to ensure that the institutions
where they work do not fall short of meeting both requirements. Because
manually introducing information piecemeal from thousands of Safety
Data Sheets (SDSs) into other required lists is labor intensive,
this project provides a stand-alone application that can populate
the required information within minutes and be easily used by any
employee. Though the application is currently limited to the Romanian
language and there are certain improvements that can be addressed
within the script, as it stands, the application can fulfill its purpose.
