We love the SDS QR Codes which we put in every department which gives everyone instant access to check out what substances we had inside our COSHH cabinets. The software is great in auditing and has removed the element of guesswork in managing the SDS. We love the risk assessment tool and the step-by-step Job Analysis tool. The users seem to be engaged and love the SDS update feature. The use of the print label feature has eliminated any problem we ever faced of having unidentified containers and the engineers were impressed with the additional QR code inside the bottle for the Risk Assessment. This has helped us to rationalise the number of substances used and capture any new one easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took a while for us to get used to the software but the tutorials and help was easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The secondary container labels. Click once and the label appears with all the GHS pictograms, H and P statements, PPE symbols, and the QR code to access the full SDS. We used to create those labels separately in another application. It is nice that they now are created in the same system in which we maintain our SDS library.

It will be great if the design of the QR code posters is customizable somehow. Our facilities work well with the existing one but the ability to use our company’s logo or change the design depending on the workstation would be useful for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The offline app. Our warehouse has poor signal, and SDSs should still be available there. Using the iOS app, users can access all documents from the library without being connected to the Internet. This was essential to us, and SDS Manager did not disappoint without any tricks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documents of larger size may take some time to download using the app on mobile devices without proper Internet connection, but we have not encountered any problems due to that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI validation. Running it through our entire library gave us an accurate break-down of which documents met the standards, which ones had issues, and specifically which sections were missing. For the first time, we saw our compliance in an honest light. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some learning curve when setting up your location hierarchies for the first time. No big obstacles, but it required a concentrated afternoon session with the onboarding team to get it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The restricted substances alerts. We operate in a market where the regulatory requirements are very stringent and we have to know at all times whether any substance that we have in our database will trigger REACH and Prop 65 alerts. The system does this for us automatically and we get an alert whenever such a thing occurs. It has helped us identify some things that we would not have identified by ourselves.

Establishing the site hierarchy was a little tricky but once that was done the process has run smoothly ever since. Support was available at all times throughout the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How quickly the whole setup process went. We gave our list of products and SDS Manager created the library for us. No weeks-long import processes and folder setups for us. We were working on the system before I even completed onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There could be a couple more pre-made templates for report generation according to Canadian regulations. We like what we got, but having more templates will be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Voice-assisted risk assessment. Here, I am explaining the task and the system completes the hazard information, proposes the appropriate controls and extracts the PPE information based on SDS. It is definitely not a substitute to judgement but it takes out the repetitive work from the process making the assessments consistent among all members of the team.

As some of the older SDS documents needed to be manually validated for accuracy before migrating them, it took additional time. Nevertheless, it was only one time activity and it definitely paid off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Availability of the platform in Polish language facilitated implementation for our team. Safety software that we have tested did not provide a Polish version and thus would have entailed extra training for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation of our existing paper-based SDS library took some time at the beginning. Manageable but expect that if your starting point is a big collection of paper documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used many other applications to manage chemical compliance on multiple sites, but none compare to how simple and efficient SDS Manager makes it, all from one application. Getting updates to all eight of our facilities at once was a major hassle before. Now it’s just a few seconds of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were some pre-planning involved for setting up the role hierarchy in all eight locations, which had different access rights. The support team guided us through the process, and since we have implemented it, it is working perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The QR code posters. We put them up in every area where chemicals are used and our workers can pull up the exact SDS they need by scanning with their phone. No login, no searching, no waiting. It removed a step that used to slow everything down on the floor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial bulk upload of our existing SDS library took a couple of days to complete, but the support team walked us through the whole process and it was smooth once done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
