Chemical & SDS Management
Chemical safety that lives on the phone, not in a binder: a register, an SDS library, inventory and offline access.
In most plants chemical safety still runs on paper. The Safety Data Sheet binder is out of date or locked in the HSE office when a spill happens on the night shift, and the inventory spreadsheet is never reconciled with the shelf. This module keeps a chemical register with GHS classification, versioned SDS files, a site inventory, and an approval step for every new chemical, with SDS and stock counts available offline in the field.
What it does
What Chemical & SDS covers
Chemical register
The tenant's approved product catalogue, with each product's GHS hazard classification.
SDS library
Versioned Safety Data Sheet files for each product. The AI extracts key fields as a draft, and a person confirms them before they are relied on.
Inventory
What is stored where, by site and storage location, how much, and against what limit.
New-chemical approval
Nothing enters the register without a recorded decision.
Storage compatibility warnings
Flags incompatible products stored together, with the conflicting pair and the reason.
Chemical risk assessments
Exposure-based risk assessments on Safetify's existing risk matrix.
Field access
Read an SDS offline on the phone, scan a QR code to reach an SDS, view GHS secondary-container labels, and count stock offline.
How it works
From first entry to closed record
The steps below follow the module from start to finish, in the order most companies use it.
- 1
Register the chemical
Add the product with its GHS hazard classification. Nothing is added to the register until it is approved.
- 2
Upload the SDS
Upload the supplier's SDS. The AI extracts the key fields as a draft, and a person confirms them.
- 3
Record the inventory
Record what is stored at each site and storage location, how much, and against what limit.
- 4
Act on the warnings
Review storage compatibility warnings and decide how to store the products safely.
- 5
Use it in the field
Scan a QR code, read the SDS offline, and count stock without a connection.
Who uses it
What each role does with it
Field Worker
Reads the SDS for products stocked at their site offline, scans QR codes, and records stock counts.
Supervisor
Adds chemicals for approval, confirms extracted SDS drafts, and reconciles stock counts.
Company Admin
Approves new chemicals, confirms extracted SDS drafts, and reconciles stock counts. Approves restricted products.
HSE Manager
Reviews the register, inventory, warnings and assessments, read-only.
Role access is enforced on the server. HSE Managers are read-only everywhere on the dashboard, and a role only sees what it is allowed to.
Safeguards
Built-in limits and safeguards
- AI-extracted SDS fields are a draft. They are never copied onto a product until a person confirms them.
- Extracted values that fail validation are dropped from the draft and flagged. They are never guessed.
- Hazard and precautionary statements are stored as codes. Their text comes from the standard lists, not free text.
- A product with no current SDS is flagged as Missing SDS.
- Storage compatibility warnings never block a save, because a plant may have a valid reason to store products together.
- Stock counts are recorded against the worker who counted them.
- A request cannot be approved by the person who raised it. The check is enforced on the server.
Scope
What it does not do
Stated plainly, so nothing is bought on a misunderstanding. Items marked as coming soon are on the roadmap, not in the product today.
- Safetify does not include a licensed global SDS database. You upload your supplier's SDS.
- US-specific reports such as EPCRA Tier II are not included. The module provides a hazardous substances register and a site emergency pack instead.
- There is no 24/7 SDS phone or fax service. This is not a software feature.
- SDS authoring for manufacturers is not included.
- OCR of paper SDS is not included.
