MSDS Management: Overview and Value Proposition

The Aon Safetylogic material safety data sheet (MSDS) management eSolution can equip you with the tools needed to more effectively manage the documentation your company needs to protect its employees from the hazards associated with the improper handling and storage of hazardous materials. Safetylogic's web-based, cost effective approach benefits both large and small companies and allows you to reduce the manpower and resources required to manage and maintain your MSDSs. We can provide you with a real-time, customized MSDS library seamlessly integrated into your corporate Intranet -- an integration requiring neither personnel nor hardware to support.

MSDS Software TrainingThe intelligenTEXT® MSDS is a web-based document designed to utilize a chemical manufacturer's original MSDS and deliver the information to employees in a harmonized fashion. The result is a clean, concise document with uniform presentation of data that allows instant access to critical chemical information. IntelligenTEXT® MSDS maintains the 16-part ANSI or 10-part OSHA format utilized by the manufacturer's original MSDS and couples this with intelligent key features.

Users reap the benefits of the intelligenTEXT® MSDS through its ease-of-use and superior level of OSHA compliance. Hazard Communication training time for MSDSs is significantly reduced, intimidation factors previously associated with MSDSs are eliminated, and safer working environments are created with the understanding of chemical hazards and treatment of injuries.

The Aon Safetylogic MSDS eSolution offers instant access throughout your company to secure, uniformly formatted, up-to-date MSDS information 24 hours/day and 7 days/week.

The Cost of a Paper-Based System and Potential Non-Compliance

Industry estimates suggest that it costs a company $20 per year per MSDS to keep a paper-based MSDS library current and to maintain compliance with federal regulations. If you need to manage only 150 MSDSs, online management solutions can more than pay for themselves in the second year of use.

Additionally, not having complete and current MSDSs readily available to employees ranks as one of the top ten most frequently cited OSHA violations.
