How SDS Compliance works
Scan me to view your next SDS Software
Up-to-Date SDS Collection: Regularly update your SDS to reflect the latest safety information and regulatory requirements. Manufacturers often revise SDS to comply with new findings or regulatory changes. Always replace outdated sheets with the newest versions to maintain compliance.
Accessibility: Up-to-date Safety Data Sheets must be easily accessible to all employees at all times. This involves organizing SDS in a manner that employees can quickly find the information they need in the event of an emergency.
Proper Labeling: Ensure all chemical containers are clearly labeled with the correct hazard symbols and handling instructions, as specified in their respective SDS. Labels must remain legible and attached to the containers at all times.
Employee Training: Conduct regular training sessions to ensure that employees understand how to interpret and use the information provided in SDS. Training should cover the location of the SDS library, understanding of the SDS format, and the procedures to follow in case of chemical exposure or spill.
Maintain archive for 10 years: Users of chemicals are required to maintain an archive of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for each chemical for a period of 10 years after the use of that chemical has ceased. This archival requirement is crucial for historical tracking, enabling health monitoring and post-exposure analysis, and for legal compliance.
Local and International Regulations: Comply with both local and international chemical safety regulations. This includes staying informed about changes in the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, as well as specific regulatory requirements in your jurisdiction.

There are numerous lists of Restricted Chemicals. SDS Manager is constantly expanding our library of lists.
On the panel for Active SDS with ingredients on restricted chemical lists, all your SDS that have ingredients on any of these lists are listed.
SDS Manager offers advanced filtering capabilities to let you find hazardous chemicals in your SDS library.
You can list all your SDS that are e.g. Carcinogenic by listing all SDS that contain hazard statement H351 or you can do a free text search of all your SDS to find all SDS that contain the word "Carcinogenic"
All Safety Data Sheets in SDS Manager are given a rudimentary rating for Health hazard, Safety hazard and Environmental hazard based on a scale from 1 to 5.
The rating is done based on H and P codes found in the SDS file.
These ratings will give pointers to products where hazards should be evaluated.
To find hazardous chemicals you can sort your chemicals by hazard rating
To maintain an updated SDS library, it's advisable to conduct an annual review by:
- Archiving SDSs for products that are no longer utilized.
- Incorporating any absent Safety Data Sheets for newly introduced products.
- Assessing and updating any outdated Safety Data Sheets within your collection
