Create a Safety Data Sheet eBinder

You can create a safety data sheet (SDS) eBinder in Bridge Compliance.

OSHA requires practices to keep SDSs for all hazardous material used in the workplace. An up-to-date SDS eBinder makes this information easy to access in case of exposure, inspection, or emergency. This helps protect your team and ensure compliance.

Notes:

• This eBinder should be easily accessible to every employee at all times (not just emergencies) and should be kept up to date to meet OSHA requirements.
• You may already have a physical binder, but we recommend using an eBinder for easier access, organization, and updates. You should store SDSs for both current and previously used products here to maintain a complete and compliant record.
• Review your eBinder annually to ensure information is updated and relevant.

Time to complete this requirement: 15-30 minutes (depending on the number of products you add to your eBinder)

To follow a guided tour of this process, see OSHA Compliance Requirement: Create a Safety Data Sheet eBinder.
