# Chemical management

Use the Health and Safety Environmental Management application to view the chemical library, raise chemical requests, and submit the requests for approvals.

-   **[View the chemical library as an employee](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety/hs-view-chemical-library.md)**  
The chemical library is a centralized repository that lists all chemicals used or managed by an organization. Employees can access the chemical library through the Employee Center.
-   **[Create a chemical request from the Employee Center](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety/hs-create-chemical-request-ec.md)**  
Employees can request a chemical available in the chemical library or initiate a request for a new chemical from the Employee Center.
-   **[Submit a chemical request for approval](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety/hs-submit-chemical-request-approval.md)**  
A chemical manager reviews a chemical request received from the employee and submits it for approval by the approver.
-   **[Approve or reject a chemical request](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety/hs-approve-reject-chemical-request.md)**  
The approver or the chemical manager can approve or reject the chemical request in the Employee Center.
-   **[Create a chemical record for a chemical](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety/hs-create-chemical-record-new-chemical.md)**  
The chemical manager can create a chemical record for the new chemical request that has been approved.
-   **[Complete a chemical record manually](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety/hs-complete-chemical-record-manually.md)**  
Chemical manager can complete the chemical record for an approved chemical manually if an integration with the 3E service provider is not available.
-   **[Delete a chemical record](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety/hs-delete-chemical-record.md)**  
When a chemical is no longer needed or was created in error, deleting it permanently removes the record from the system.
-   **[Request a safety data sheet \(SDS\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety/hs-request-safety-data-sheet-sds.md)**  
You can request a safety data sheet \(SDS\) from the chemical record to view the safety data for that chemical. The SDS can be downloaded in different languages.
-   **[Monitor and manage the Regulatory list for a chemical substance](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety/hs-monitor-manage-regulatory-tab.md)**  
Use the Regulatory tab on a chemical substance record to quickly assess regulatory conformance status, review regulations, and track upcoming and overdue regulatory obligations.
