We bring clarity to the SDS jungle
Many companies struggle to keep their Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) up to date. Chaos? Practically guaranteed!
Causes:
- High effort: With a large number of hazardous substances and the recommended review of documents every two years, hundreds of requests pile up each year – a true paperwork flood.
- Communication threads with suppliers tie up unnecessary resources on both sides.
- Monotonous tasks: Processing requests, attachments, copying, and saving feels like a never-ending loop that no one wants to repeat.
Results:
- Outdated SDSs: Current versions are often a rare treasure that’s hard to find. Outdated SDSs inherently create a foundation of misinformation, directly elevating safety, health, environmental, and compliance risks across all operations.
- Worker Safety & Health: Outdated SDSs directly endanger worker safety and health by providing inaccurate hazard information and insufficient guidance on handling, PPE, and first aid, leading to increased risk of accidents and exposures.
- Non-Compliance & Legal Penalties: Failing to maintain current SDSs results in regulatory non-compliance, exposing companies to significant fines, legal liabilities, operational disruptions, and severe reputational harm.
- Ineffective Emergency Response & Environmental Damage: Outdated SDSs hinder effective emergency response, potentially leading to improper handling of spills, fires, and waste, thus escalating incidents and causing greater environmental and public health risks.
