SDS Management
Are you looking to devote less time to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) management and to improve compliance? Would you like to spend less money on SDS-related efforts?
With limited resources in the healthcare industry, Safety Data Sheet (SDS) maintenance efforts pose an increasing challenge to your organization. The process can be time consuming and expensive, yet errors risk not only the health and safety of employees, but also the exposure of your organization to liability, fines and citations. MedSafe offers both paper-based and online solutions!
Whether you represent a small, stand-alone healthcare facility or a large, multi-site network, you need a living, breathing SDS management program to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of injury to your staff. MedSafe’s SDS Management Program gives you that kind of system. By having SDSs online, regardless of where you may keep your hard copy SDS inventory, your employees will have real-time access to your facility’s SDSs, 24-hours a day. For those organizations that don’t have distributed information networks, our paper-based SDS System is the most efficient.
Benefits of SDS Online Include:
- Enhanced compliance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and the JCAHO Environment of Care Standards
- Differentiation of your organization as one which continuously strives to exceed regulatory and accreditation standards
- Significant reduction of staff time and effort by using MedSafe’s resources to cost effectively and install and monitor this system
