SDS Management Software for the Manufacturing Industry

Under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), companies must categorize chemical risks, keep SDSs on file and train workers to recognize correct labeling and to handle materials safely.

The OSHA Process Safety Management standard (29 CFR 1910.119) involves the use of extremely hazardous chemicals and mandates hazard analysis, safe procedures, and personnel training programs.

EPA’s Risk Management Program (40 CFR Part 68) is designed to avoid unintentional chemical releases and protect the populations surrounding facilities that use extremely dangerous compounds.

Chemical manufacturing, import and inventory reporting to EPA is regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which provides good safety data to ensure full regulatory compliance.

REACH and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) govern the registration, classification and labelling of chemicals around the world to ensure the flow of safety data across global supply chains.

OSHA’s Lockout/Tagout standard (29 CFR 1910.147) seeks to manage hazardous energy during equipment servicing, thereby preventing unexpected startups and saving workers from injury.

Brings all SDS documentation for every chemical from all production facilities, warehouses, and laboratories into one searchable platform. Remove inconsistent versions and paper binders.

Employees, First Responders, and Safety Supervisors can access any SDS in seconds from any device. No more calling the safety office in the middle of an issue.

CloudSDS tracks manufacturer upgrades and highlights obsolete documentation. Monthly update cycles keep your SDS library up to speed with the latest GHS revisions, not 2019 versions.

OEL, STEL and OHC values incorporated in SDS documents dictate PPE selection, ventilation design and exposure monitoring systems. CloudSDS surfaces this data immediately.

Dictates what chemicals are approved for usage at each site. The introduction of new chemicals triggers a review process before the substance is brought into the facility.

Develop and print GHS and DOT compatible workplace labels, secondary container labels, and transport labels directly from the platform.

Accurate SDS management is critical for pharmaceutical manufacturing, impacting ICH Q3 impurity thresholds, 21 CFR Part 211 chemical control regulations and FDA inspection readiness.

All facilities that produce bulk chemicals are subject to OSHA PSM, EPA RMP and TSCA concurrently. Accuracy of SDS is not a choice.

SDS control is necessary for cleaning agents, lubricants, and processing aids even in food-safe environments. Third-party audits and FSMA compliance are expected.

Coatings, solvents, adhesives, and metalworking fluids produce a complicated chemical inventory that evolves as product lines change.

Silica, heavy metals, and process chemicals are subject to special OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.1000 Table Z, 29 CFR 1910.1053 for silica) that rely on SDS data.
