Administrators responsible for handling Safety Data Sheets.

Administrator role is required.

Chemical Inventory makes it easy to store, manage, and share Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals in your inventory. When a container is linked to a chemical profile with an SDS, users have immediate access to essential safety, hazard, and emergency response information, helping your organisation maintain compliance and workplace safety.

This article pulls together best practices and Help resources to help you get the most out of this feature.

1. Best practices

Depending on your industry, we recommend:

• Academia - Verify every teaching lab chemical has an SDS; post QR codes on lab doors.
• Manufacturing - Use manufacturer SDS URLs for always-up-to-date versions.
• Construction - Display SDS QR codes on safety boards at job sites.
• Industry - Schedule quarterly SDS reviews to ensure compliance with updated GHS classifications.
