Hazard and risk evaluation by workplace
Digitally assess chemical risks by workplace
ChemTool links the assessment to the products, quantities and containers actually assigned to the workplace. Risks are evaluated in a 5×5 matrix; measures follow the STOP hierarchy, while responsibilities, checks and implementation status remain traceable.
Clear distinction: ChemTool is an independent ASGS Rufener product and not an official Suva tool. The function must be applied to the actual business situation by competent people.
Hazard analysis, risk evaluation or risk assessment?
Terminology varies. ChemTool separates the broad hazard portfolio from the detailed assessment of a real work situation, including measures and residual risk.

From the initial situation to an action plan
- Select the workplace: use assigned products, quantities, containers and SDS data.
- Evaluate the risk: classify probability and severity in the 5×5 matrix.
- Define STOP measures: substitution, technical, organisational and personal protection.
- Verify effectiveness: record owners, deadlines, residual risk and evidence.
Checks beyond the matrix
Maternity protection
Warnings remain open until the business-specific assessment is completed and documented.
Quantities and thresholds
Amounts by workplace, storage location and business support the necessary review.
Data quality
Missing profiles, quantities, storage classes or other information become visible.
Combined storage
Potentially problematic combinations trigger a more detailed review.
Traceability
Evaluation, measures, owners and professional validation remain in one workflow.

Professional note: the software structures and documents the assessment but does not replace competent, business-specific judgement.
