What are the Problems Associated with SDS Search that Organizations Face.pdf

A collection of SDSs is not enough if they are not easily accessible. Moreover, safety information has to be present during emergencies. When searching for SDSs, facilities often encounter multiple issues. What exactly are they? We’ve discussed them below, so take a look.



1) Time-Consuming Searches:
Locating specific SDSs can be a lengthy process. It happens when a user has to deal with large volumes of chemical products and documents. Also, finding the correct document among a pile of paper-based MSDS is time-consuming.



2) Incorrect Formatting:
An organization may collect SDSs from various types of manufacturers. However, to ensure compliance with OSHA’s HCS, facilities need to stick to documents with 16 specific sections. This makes quickly finding the required information difficult, especially during emergencies.



Outdated Information or Documents:
Often, users find documents for products that are considered discontinued or have outdated information. After all, collecting current SDS formats from manufacturers and keeping the database updated is not easy without the help of SDS management software.



Incorrect Information:
The documents that were collected may need to have the correct information for various reasons. Thus, finding SDSs with accurate and required information may not always be possible. An organization may, therefore, find ones with inadequate details when searching for an SDS.



3) Language Barriers:
Finding SDSs in a regional language is not always possible when searching for the required one. Often, an organization has users from other regions, and they need safety information in their own languages. Thus, language barriers are another issue that users may face if they don’t use reliable SDS management software.
