Online MSDS System Challenge
In most business environments, msds requirements are met by micro-managing at the plant-level. Each facility location where chemicals are routinely and predictably purchased and used typically keeps track of its own OSHA-related reporting on hazardous chemicals.
In a campus or hospital setting, access to hazardous chemical information is more complicated. Numerous physical locations use a variety of different chemicals purchased by researchers or laboratory personnel on a P-Card.
Crucial compliance documents like MSDS come in with a shipment and are frequently thrown away or put in the recipient’s file, thereby not providing access according to the requirements of OSHA’s Hazardous Communication Standard. Wouldn't it be nice to have an online MSDS library where all this is stored, once and for all?
Online MSDS System Solution
Current MSDS requirements from OSHA and SDS requirements from overseas demand a central database providing online MSDS access for passing hazard MSDS to co-workers and for safety reporting to OSHA. A sophisticated MSDS system means an expansive EHS software library of more than one million OSHA MSDS, where you have confidence that when you search for an MSDS, you'll find it.
ChemQuik contains all major life science and pharmaceutical libraries -- as well as products such as coatings, lubricants and even components for bill of materials data tracking. Advanced search technology means you search the online MSDS solution library for wide range of hazard MSDS product information, including: product name, manufacturer name, product number and MSDS ID. You can further refine your search to locate an OSHA MSDS by CAS number or even molecular formula.
