When you buy sustainable industrial liquids, the label tells you what the product does. But the safety ratings tell you how it affects your people, your site, and your compliance position.
At Envirosafe Solutions, every product carries independent ratings. Here’s what they mean and why they matter.
What the Safety Ratings Measure
Our products are rated across three categories:
- Health: How safe is the product for workers handling it daily?
- Environment: What happens if it enters soil, water, or air?
- Transport/Storage: How hazardous is the product to ship and store?
These ratings are independent assessments, not marketing claims. They give you objective data for your OH&S records and environmental reporting.
Health Ratings Explained
Health ratings reflect direct exposure risk:
- Skin contact
- Inhalation
- Eye contact
- Ingestion
A higher health rating means lower risk. Our sustainable industrial liquids are formulated to minimise worker exposure without compromising performance. This reduces PPE requirements, training burden, and incident risk.
Environment Ratings Explained
Environmental ratings measure:
- Biodegradability
- Aquatic toxicity
- Soil impact
- Air quality effects
If your operation discharges to septic systems, waterways, or sensitive environments, this rating determines your compliance exposure. Many of our products carry septic safe ratings specifically for this reason.
Transport and Storage Ratings
These ratings affect:
- Shipping costs (hazardous goods surcharges)
- Storage requirements (segregation, ventilation, bunding)
- Insurance premiums
- Emergency response planning
Lower transport/storage safety ratings mean simpler logistics and lower overhead.
How to Use Safety Ratings
When comparing sustainable industrial liquids, don’t just look at price. Check the ratings:
- A cheaper product with poor health ratings costs more in PPE and training
- A product with high environmental ratings may reduce your compliance burden
- Transport ratings directly affect your freight costs
Request the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for any product you’re considering. Review it with your OH&S officer before ordering. Browse our product range to see available sustainable industrial liquids and their safety ratings.
Why Independent Safety Ratings Matter
Manufacturer claims are marketing. Independent safety ratings are verification. At Envirosafe, we subject our sustainable industrial liquids to third-party assessment because your compliance and safety depend on objective data, not promises.
