Administrators responsible for handling Safety Data Sheets.

Administrator role is required.

If a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is missing for a chemical, you can use the global SDS catalogue to resolve the issue without uploading a new file manually. From the catalog, you can link either an exact or a similar SDS if an exact match isn't available.

This approach reduces duplicate uploads, streamlines SDS management, and ensures that all chemical records maintain proper hazard documentation.

This article explains how to use the global catalogue.

1. Linking an SDS

To link an SDS:

1. Navigate to the Data Manager.
2. Select Inventory.
3. Switch to the SDS tab.
4. Click Link SDS (Paperclip icon).

5. Search for the SDS.
   You have several search parameters to help you narrow the results down to the most relevant ones.
6. Click the File icon to view the document.
   This is helpful to confirm the content matches your needs.
7. Click Use This SDS.
