Materials and MSDS Management

It's really too early in our development to show you anything, but I just can't stay quiet about it - this is going to be our richest module yet.  And yes, that's right subscribers, you'll get this one for free too!

One of the most tedious and fragile tasks an HS&E professional is faced with is keeping up with their Material Safety Data Sheets.  Binders and filing cabinets are only the beginning.  Then you have to worry about changes to the sheets, reliability of the supplier information, and making all this data available to your people.

It should hardly be a surprise to anyone that making Safety Data available to your employees is a requirement by law.  In just about every industrialized country, there are requirements to make this informaiton available either online or in paper format.  That one mentality - a person has the right to know what chemicals they are handling and the hazards associated with them - is simple enough.  But, keeping up with the tons of variations, test materials, and all the complexity around that concept is where CoreHSE.com really shines.

If all you want is a place to search for MSDSs, there are plenty of free sites on the web that will grant you that capability.  So, why would you want to store that information in CoreHSE.com?  Glad you asked!  Here are some of the features we are polishing up for our next big release:

  • Electronic MSDS storage with versioning and expiration alerts
  • Facility toggling - hide and show MSDSs depending on whether they are in use at a particular facility
  • Vendor and Manufacturer reference available to all of your facilities
  • Substance tracking by material
  • Quick lookup to ensure avoiding duplicate entries
  • Simple Right-To-Know access to your entire corporation
  • Quick Indexing of risk phrases, pictograms, First Aid information, and other safety-related details
  • Barcode storage  (for use in our future planned feature of chemical inventory and tracking features)

Of course there will be all the other things that go with this module that you've come to expect from CoreHSE.com.  The interface is a breeze to navigate, the pages are lightning fast, and you can be sure your data will always be availble.

We have a planned release date in mid-June, so keep your eyes open.  If you are one of our testers, a hardy THANKS!
