SDS management software is a secure, cloud-based system that organizes all your Safety Data Sheets in one place so employees can find the right information fast and you can keep accurate records for audits and inspections.
For example, in Quebec, section 52 of the Act respecting occupational Health and safety (OSHA) requires that each employer, “in accordance with the regulations, keep and maintain a register of risks connected with certain jobs, identifying, in particular, the contaminants and dangerous substances connected with certain jobs, and a register of the risks connected with the kind of work performed by each worker in his employ.” A good SDS management software will be able to provide you with these lists of products present in the workplace with their classifications.
Also according to the OSHA, “no employer may allow a hazardous product to be used, handled or stored in a workplace unless the product has a label and a safety data sheet that comply with this subdivision and the regulations under it” (s. 62.1). With a SDS management software, not only will all your SDSs be grouped in one place, but the employees will be able to print compliant labels for these products.
The advantages of the Kalium software include its user-friendly interface and its product summary page which will provide you with the WHMIS2015/HCS2024 classification as well as the transport classification.
The software will also allow you to print your WHMIS and workplace labels in various formats. On the printed labels, the addition of a QR code allows quick access to the SDS. No more searching in a dusty binder or having problems accessing the computer. Simply scan the QR code with an electronic device equipped with a camera and the SDS will be available in seconds.
The Kalium software’s user will also have access to a list of all its products with their WHMIS classification, which meets the obligation of section 52 of OSHA. This precise list, with classes and categories, will also be very useful during the WHMIS training given to employees. A second list, this one classified in transport, is also available, an asset in the event of an incident involving firefighters, and a precious tool for the safe storing of your products.
A list of first responders and an emergency response plan can be added to the Kalium software to make it YOUR resource in the event of an incident. Internal operating procedures can also be added to each product’s file.
The Advantage of Kalium software: each SDS, before being downloaded in the software, is validated by a chemist. Our team of experts will carefully check your safety data sheets to ensure that no dangerous elements have been forgotten in order to guarantee a better protection for the health and safety of your employees.

About updating SDSs hosted in our SDS Management software, suppliers must update their SDSs:

The frequency of verification by our team of experts can be tailored to our clients' needs. While we maintain flexibility, we advise clients to review all Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) at least every two years to ensure that their hosted versions remain current, given the continual emergence of new information. This service is also offered turnkey at a fraction of the original price.
Our software is very user-friendly, so there are no prerequisites for use.
