Create and maintain a digital hazard portfolio
ChemTool records processes and subprocesses, classifies hazard potential and available recognised rules, and documents priorities, measures and the need for detailed assessment.
Independent implementation with Swiss context
ChemTool is not an official Suva product. Its logic is based on the published Suva hazard portfolio concept and is implemented as a digital work and documentation tool.

What the digital portfolio supports
Classify hazard potential
Document the level of hazard and whether sufficient recognised rules are available.
Set priorities
Make urgent measures, controls and the need for specialist assessment visible.
The portfolio logic
The classification combines hazard potential with the availability of recognised rules. The result shows where rules must be implemented, measures planned or detailed assessment performed.
High hazard potentialRules missing or insufficientAssess in detail and act as a priority
High hazard potentialRecognised rules availableImplement and verify consistently
Lower hazard potentialRules incompleteComplete the rules and define the process
Lower hazard potentialRules availableMaintain implementation and review periodically
Create the portfolio in four steps
- Define the scope: business, department, plant or process.
- Record processes: activities and relevant subprocesses.
- Classify: hazard potential and recognised rules.
- Define follow-up: measures, checks, detailed assessments and specialist support.
Hazard portfolio and risk assessment are not the same
Portfolio: overview
Reviews many processes and identifies priorities and areas requiring deeper assessment.
Assessment: detailed evaluation
Examines a real situation, evaluates the risk and documents measures according to STOP.
