Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Here's how to navigate the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) tool.

In Sospes, workflows can be configured to give SDS admins more control over the Safety Data Sheets that are added to their library.

The Sospes SDS module allows companies to maintain their entire SDS binder digitally. Additionally, the SDSs are frequently being reviewed and updated for you so that you no longer need to worry about them.

Adding a new SDS

REMOVE:

Adding a new SDS to your library is as easy as clicking the "Request SDS" button from the SDS screen. Any employee can do this. This workflow allows users with the SDS Admin role to either approve or reject these SDS requests. 

(Adding a new SDS to your library is as easy as clicking the "Request SDS" button from the SDS screen. Any user can do this. The request form will ask the user to complete the following fields:

Required Fields

  • Product name
  • Manufacturer name

Optional Fields

  • Product ID
  • Alias (or other name)
  • Facility
  • Location

If SDS Facilities and/or Locations are configured in your Sospes environment, users have the option to request that the new SDSs appear in those specific folders.

SDS Admin

The SDS Admin will have access to the SDS administration page and SDS management page. For more information on how to assign the SDS admin role, check out Understanding user Roles and Permissions.

To view outstanding SDS requests, you must have the SDS Admin role. Users with the proper role will see a Manage SDS Requests button at the top of the SDS Overview screen. Once enabled, SDS approvals will allow anyone with the SDS Admin role to be alerted via email when a new SDS is requested.

You can view all active requests by going to the Manage SDS Request page which is found on go.sospes.com by navigating to the SDS Overview and clicking Manage SDS Requests. Screenshots below outline how that works:

SDS requests are either Rejected, Approved, or Awaiting Approval. Once approved, they will be added to your SDS library within 3 – 5 business days. To change the Status, click the drop-down pictured below:
