5. CHECKS Checking chemicals • The hea are rea aauthority authority is is responsible or checking checking the chemicals within his area o responsibility in line with the HSE instructions and local checklists. As a minimum, such checks must veriy whether o hardcopies o updated and approved HSE datasheets are available at all permanent places o use o all chemicals chemicals in use have approved HSE datasheets available in SAFEUSE, except except chemicals that are approved or testing and one-o use only o chemicals that are no longer in use are removed and sent ashore These checks must be verifed in Traction. At least once a year, the HSE department must department must veriy that all chemical stores on the installations inst allations have been checked checked against SAFEUSE.
