A quick way to build your SDS library is to walk around your site and photograph the label of every chemical you use. With SDS Manager on your phone you take a picture, type part of the product name and save. In an hour you can add hundreds of products. Then you find the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for them.

Take the pictures

1. Click More in the left menu, then Shoot pictures of labels of your chemicals. On a computer, scan the QR code on the page with your phone to open the page there.
2. On the phone, tap Take picture of the product label. The camera opens; you can take up to 3 pictures.
3. Type the Product Name and choose the Location. The supplier name is optional when you add a picture.
4. Tap Save, then Take picture of the product label again for the next product.

Taking pictures of labels is part of the Premium, Pro and Enterprise plans, for owners and admins. Do you want colleagues at other sites to take pictures? Make them admins of their locations: How do I invite/add new users to SDS Manager

Find the SDSs

The products you photographed are listed under Step 2 on the same page, and under Tasks in the left menu. SDS Manager looks for a matching SDS for each product in the background. Click Find SDS on a product, pick the right SDS and click Add to SDS library. If the SDS is not in our database, you can search Google, email your supplier or ask our team for help.
