# Delete a chemical record

When a chemical is no longer needed or was created in error, deleting it permanently removes the record from the system.

## Before you begin

You must confirm that the chemical record is no longer needed. Deleting a chemical permanently removes it and all associated chemical ingredients, and first aid records. This action can't be undone. Chemical substance records associated with the chemical aren't deleted.

Role required: sn\_hs\_chm.manager

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Health and Safety** > **Health and Safety Workspace**.

2.  Select **Environmental Management** icon \(\[Omitted image "icon-hs-envt-mgmt.png"\] Alt text: environmental management icon\).

3.  Select **Chemicals** list, and then select **All**.

4.  Open a chemical record and select the **More actions** icon \(\[Omitted image "agent-workspace-more-ui-actions-icon.jpg"\] Alt text: more actions icon\).

5.  Select **Delete** and then select **Delete** in the dialogue box.


## Result

The chemical record and associated child records \(chemical ingredients and first aid records\) are deleted from the system.
