Use cases

Chemical inventory & SDS management

Maintain a compliant chemical register with SDS documents available at point of use.

QEHS Ethos chemical inventory and SDS management software maintains a searchable inventory of every hazardous substance on site, links each substance to its current Safety Data Sheet, and provides a mobile-accessible SDS library for workers. GHS classifications are displayed on every record.

The problem

  • SDS documents are stored in ring-binders that are out of date and hard to locate
  • Workers cannot access SDS information during a spill or medical emergency
  • No system to ensure SDS documents are reviewed every five years

How it works

A step-by-step walkthrough of this use case in QEHS.

  1. Add chemicals to the register

    Create a substance record with GHS classification, storage location, and maximum quantity; SDS is attached or linked.

  2. Manage SDS currency

    The system alerts when an SDS approaches its 5-year review date; the SDS update workflow routes to the responsible person.

  3. Provide worker access

    Workers access the SDS library from any mobile device by scanning a QR code on the chemical container.

  4. Produce the chemical register

    Export a compliant chemical register for regulators, emergency services, or insurance audits.
