UTS Safety Data Sheet Collection Webapp

This is an easily accessible collection of SDS that:

make supplier's SDS easily accessible to the chemical user (legal requirement),
reduce effort during chemical procurement, since the purchaser does not need to obtain an SDS every single time they order a substance,
replace large collections of hardcopy SDS in laboratories and workshops.

Anyone at UTS can search for Safety Data Sheets without logging in. Note that this webapp is only available within UTS.

The person who uploads an SDS can then edit, delete and replace that SDS at any time.

Generic SDS (e.g. Chemwatch) do not satisfy our obligation under the legislation, the SDS must be obtained from the supplier. Suppliers have a legal obligation to provide us with a current SDS.
When an SDS expires after 5 years, it’s listing is greyed out, but it is still readable. Expired SDS must be replaced.
