# View the chemical library as an employee

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.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_hs\_chm.requestor

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Self service** > **Employee Center**.

2.  Select **Health and Safety** menu.

3.  Under the **Quick links**, select **View chemical library**.


## Result

The chemical library is displayed containing a list of chemicals, its manufacturer, approved locations, and the person responsible for maintaining that chemical.

## What to do next

You can use the chemical library to search for chemicals by name or keyword, and access the chemical record. The chemical record lets you view detailed information, including chemical identity, ingredients, concentrations, hazard data, first aid, and related safety documents.
