SDS management software for a safe, sustainable workplace

SDS RiskAssist is an award-winning SDS management software platform for a safe, healthy, sustainable, productive workplace.


More than a safety data sheet e-binder, SDS RiskAssist gives you tools to unlock and manage the data in each SDS, making critical hazard information easy to access, prioritize and act on.


Our AI-powered algorithm delivers the information you need – at the click of a mouse – to prevent dangerous workplace exposures to carcinogens and other hazardous substances. 


With SDS RiskAssist you'll be able to:

  • Instantly identify carcinogenic and other chemical hazards in your workplace
  • Easily keep your SDS collection up to date (we do it all for you!)
  • Know which products can react to produce potentially fatal results
  • Know what products pregnant people should avoid
  • Eliminate unnecessary chemical products
  • Compare chemical products and select safer options, and
  • Easily communicate safety procedures for their use, storage and disposal.

Save time and easily meet all WHMIS requirements

Our intuitive SDS software tools digitize your WHMIS, HazCom or UN GHS Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and help you quickly:

  • Identify health & physical hazards (e.g., carcinogens, flammables, explosion risk) in your operations
  • Prioritize chemical safety initiatives & customize safety procedures
  • Link to applicable health & safety regulations to simplify your research
  • Ensure all workers have access to up-to-date safety data sheets
  • Provide job-specific training to reduce the risk of lost time, injuries and occupational disease
  • Apply your customized work instructions to each SDS
  • Eliminate duplicate, out-of-date and obsolete SDSs, saving you money.


Automated SafetySnap™ SDS summaries

One of the things our clients love most about SDS RiskAssist are our one-page automated SafetySnap SDS summaries.

SafetySnaps give your employees clear hazard information, easy-to-understand instructions and PPE requirements – at a glance – to reduce the risk of incidents that can cause harm, lost time, delays and major fines.

SDS RiskAssist helps everyone in your workplace understand chemical hazards and protect themselves, those around them and the environment from unsafe exposures.

LISA HALLSWORTH, P.Eng.

Chief Executive Officer

With a passion to “be the change” and the faith that she could build a better way, Lisa left a career as a senior process safety engineer to explore digital technology as an enabling tool for safer chemical handling.

To achieve her goal, Lisa put together a team of curious, pragmatic but independent thinkers and incorporated Rillea Technologies Inc. Together our team explored the possibility of developing digital tools that would take huge amounts of technical information and regulations and distill it into a web platform that could not only be customized by organization but provide clear, simple chemical-handling knowledge to workers from the C-Suite to the floor.

The result is SDS RiskAssist, an award-winning web platform that revolutionizes SDS Management and Chemical Safety.

Chief Operating Officer

Rob brings his experience as a Professional Engineer, Supervisor, Manager and Executive to the entrepreneurial world as a co-Founder of SDS RiskAssist. For over 30 years he has helped organizations reduce workplace injuries, improve product quality, lower costs and increase output.

Within SDS RiskAssist, Rob’s ability to cut to the chase has been instrumental in developing revolutionary software that takes complex regulations, an overabundance of paperwork, and opaque scientific jargon and creates simple, actionable information for Managers, Supervisors and Workers.
