Safety teams managing their SDSs with NextSDS
Each row is one product. Its safety data sheet, bill of materials, and the regulations that govern it all attach to the product, not the other way round. Pick a product to read its linked SDS, inspect composition, and see where it is deployed.
Contains DEHP at 12 % w/w. Exceeds REACH SVHC disclosure threshold and RoHS 0.1 % limit.
SDS management is the process of collecting, storing, updating and giving employees access to the safety data sheets for every chemical in your workplace. It keeps your SDS library complete, replaces outdated versions when suppliers revise them, and puts the right sheet in front of workers when they need it.
OSHA HazCom, REACH and CLP all require it. SDS management software does the work for you: it reads each sheet, flags revisions, and gives every site and every employee a searchable library instead of a binder.
Move your existing MSDS library over without retyping a single field. No consultants, no migration project.
Drag in hundreds of PDFs at once, or forward supplier emails to your Magic Mailbox. Old MSDS files are fine too.
Hazard statements, GHS pictograms, composition, exposure limits and transport data are extracted and organised into a searchable library. Outdated sheets are flagged straight away.
Workers scan a QR code on the container or open your safety portal on their phone. Supervisors and EHS leads get the full library, filtered to their site.

A binder in the break room or a folder on the server was fine when you had twenty chemicals. With hundreds of products, suppliers and sites, an online SDS management system is the only way to keep up.

|---|---|---|---|
| Finding an SDS in an emergency | Walk to the binder and flip pages | Only from a work computer | Scan the container QR code |
| Knowing a sheet is outdated | Manual check, sheet by sheet | Manual check, file by file | Flagged automatically by revision date |
| Getting a new version | Email the supplier and wait | Email the supplier and wait | Request the update in one click |
| Searching by hazard | Not possible | File names only | Filter by pictogram, hazard group or any field |
| Proving compliance to an inspector | Hope the binder is complete | No record of who changed what | Full revision history and audit trail |

SDS management is the process of collecting, storing, updating and giving employees access to the safety data sheets for every chemical used in your workplace. It covers keeping a complete SDS library, replacing outdated versions when suppliers revise them, and making sure workers can reach the right sheet during an emergency, as required by OSHA HazCom, REACH and CLP.
SDS stands for Safety Data Sheet. It is a 16-section document from the manufacturer or supplier that describes a chemical's hazards, safe handling, storage, first aid, spill response and transport information. It replaced the older MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) format under the GHS.
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is the older term used before the GHS globally harmonized system was adopted. SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is the current standard. NextSDS manages both SDS and legacy MSDS documents in one central library, so you can consolidate all your safety data sheets regardless of format or age.
Our MSDS tracking software automatically monitors revision dates, flags outdated documents, and notifies you when suppliers release updated safety data sheets. It tracks every SDS and MSDS in your inventory with full revision history and audit trails.
Yes! You can upload hundreds of SDS and MSDS documents at once. Our system will process them in parallel, extract data using AI, and organize everything automatically in your library.
Our AI recognizes both EU SDS and US MSDS formats, as well as various manufacturer-specific layouts. It adapts to different structures and extracts the relevant safety information regardless of format or age of the document.
Yes. NextSDS is built to support OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). The platform keeps a complete SDS library accessible to every employee, tracks revisions, manages container labeling, and produces the audit trail inspectors expect. It also handles GHS classifications, REACH registration data, and CLP labels for EU operations.
Yes. Assign every product to one or more locations, filter your library by site, and give each location its own view of the SDSs it uses. Supervisors see their own site, EHS leads see the whole company.
