MSDS, or material safety data sheets, were the standard form of documentation for hazardous chemicals until 2012 when OSHA aligned with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals and MSDS management was replaced with SDS (safety data sheet) management. Safety data sheets are now formatted in a standard 16-section template and provide critical information on handling, storage, PPE, and emergency response for chemicals such as disinfectants and lab reagents. This is required as part of OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, but many products other than hazardous chemicals also rely on SDS management to maintain safe environments.

MedTrainer’s safety data sheet management software stores over one million SDSs, integrates with suppliers like McKesson, and offers real-time, cloud-based access. This eliminates paper binders, simplifies OSHA compliance, and keeps healthcare organizations compliant, safe, and efficient in managing chemical hazards.
