SDS RiskAssist wins 2023 Readers' Choice Award for SDS Management Software

Another COS Readers' Choice Award for SDS RiskAssist!

We are excited to announce that we’ve won a COS Readers' Choice 2023 Award for SDS Management Solutions software for the sixth year in a row! 

We are so grateful to everyone who has supported our journey to improve workplace safety with SDS RiskAssist chemical safety software! Thank you for your loyalty and trust in our products!

New SDS RiskAssist features

We’re also pleased to share that we’ve been using machine learning and AI to make SDS RiskAssist even more powerful and easy to use, while remaining economical. In addition to the automated extraction of the important workplace chemical safety information that you’ve come to rely on, we’ve added new services such as:

Transparent SDS updates:

Save time and effort by leaving all your safety data sheet updates to us with our end-to-end Professional subscription service. Our transparent, auditable process leverages supplier SDS update data collected over the last 7 years. This means that you never have to worry about grief from your boss or ministry fines for out of date SDSs again!

Print labels with pictograms: 

You can instantly print labels with pictograms, hazards, safe-handling instructions AND a QR code to help first responders quickly get to the full SDS.

Choose safer chemicals: 

Compare all your products being used for similar tasks, by hazard. Choose the safest product and eliminate the rest. No greenwashing, no marketing jargon, simply compare by the hazards that the suppliers declare in the SDS.

SDS management tools to do even more, faster:

🌟You can now sort and prioritize hazard by severity; for example, see all high-risk hazards instantly to manage risks more efficiently. 

🌟Find and remove duplicate SDSs from your collection, even when the filename is different, to prevent cost creep and ensure your employees have the correct SDS for every product.

🌟Manage your physical chemical inventory for those large-volume products that need regulatory reporting. We even help you identify incompatible products that are stored together.

🌟New search tools make it easy to find the latest product SDS directly from supplier websites, for the DIY subscribers.

🌟Get SDS update status notifications to your inbox to give you peace of mind that the work is being done.

🌟See snapshots of how your SDS collection, hazard profile and user activity changes over time.

🌟See which SDSs are being reviewed by employees repeatedly, to trigger training refreshers.

🌟Use single sign on for easy and secure management of user accounts.

Finally, all information on our platform is now bilingual - available in French and English!

Thank you again for your support and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any chemical safety questions - we’re here to help!
