A clear path through the work.
How SDS connects the task, the people and the record.
Add the supplier document
Keep the safety data sheet with the matching substance record. Record supplier and revision details so the team can identify the document they are using.
Connect it to the work
Keep site and project context alongside the substance. Link the sheet to the COSHH workflow so assessment information and source documents stay together.
Review new revisions
When an updated supplier document is added, review the related substance and assessment records. Retain the document history and the follow-up decided by the team.

Questions about SDS.
Clear answers to help you choose the right setup for your team.
What does SDS stand for?
SDS means safety data sheet: the supplier document associated with a chemical product. Keeping the document with its substance record makes it easier for the team to find.
How is the SDS module different from COSHH?
The SDS workflow organises supplier documents and revisions. COSHH connects substances to assessment and review records for the work. The two modules share context; the guide below explains their different roles.
Can the team identify which revision is stored?
