How SDS Manager helped Plastipak transform their SDS management

In 2023, Plastipak’s HSE team recognized inefficiencies in managing Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and the growing need for a centralized, digital solution. As a global leader in plastic packaging, Plastipak faced challenges in maintaining accurate and up-to-date SDS information across its many facilities, which increased the risk of non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Employees also struggled to quickly locate the correct SDSs, delaying timely emergency responses.

To address these issues, Plastipak turned to SDS Manager. By implementing the cloud-based system, they were able to store and manage their SDSs digitally, set up a library for free, real-time compliance tracking, drag-and-drop SDS uploading, bulk chemical list import, automate updates, and give easy access to crucial safety information.
