4 Things That Make Comprehensive Information Resources Essential for Chemical Safety Professionals

For any chemical safety professional, having the right data is essential for making the best possible informed decisions. Correspondingly, one of the most critical aspects of any information resource is comprehensiveness. Here we focus on the issue of comprehensive content, review what makes it so important, and look at how ToxPlanet can address chemical safety professionals’ needs for comprehensive information.

Why So Important?

  • Diversity of Coverage
    • Because chemical safety is such a broad focus area, the content that different professionals across the discipline require is extremely diverse. To be highly effective, information resources must encompass a full range of relevant subject areas.
  • International Scope
    • Chemical hazard and toxicology information is produced by societies, government agencies, and other entities throughout the world. This content often has universal relevance, regardless of the country from which it originates. Because of this, availability of international coverage within an information solution can be a significant asset.
  • Extensive Chemical Coverage
    • Regardless of their area(s) of concentration, chemical safety professionals typically need information on many different compounds. This often means they require detailed data not only about the substances themselves, but also about many other chemicals with which they may interact. Accordingly, the information resources these professionals use should cover numerous chemical substances.
  • Quantity of Content
    • When searching for necessary information on any chemical, it can often be found distributed across multiple documents. Similarly, when data is needed on many different substances, then many documents may be required on each. A truly comprehensive chemical hazard information resource will enable users to access any number of documents from a large repository of content.
