Tool Available for Accessing Safety Data Sheets Posted on May 7, 2014June 23, 2021 by Michael Scarski With new products being added to your workplace every day, what’s the easiest way to keep track of the hazardous products and corresponding Safety Data Sheets (SDS)? Online services can be very helpful to maintain up-to-date SDS catalogs. Consider Border States an example—we use an online service to maintain our SDS, and your company could do something similar to give your employees quick access to the information they need when they need it. At Border States, we maintain a catalog of safety data sheets for hazardous products we stock using an online service from a vendor, 3E. When we add products that contain hazardous chemicals, we use the online service to assist us in obtaining and maintaining current corresponding SDS. We also use this system to keep up-to-date SDS inventories for each of our locations. The SDS are available to our employees upon request online and via phone, fax or email, 24/7. Our employees can access SDS by clicking on a link from any company computer, or by calling a toll-free number posted in all of our locations. This process has worked out well for ensuring our employees are aware of the hazards associated with chemicals in their workplace. You, as our customer, can also access our electronic SDS for the products you purchase by visiting our website. If you forget to bookmark the SDS website, there is a link on borderstates.com that will bring you to our SDS portal where you can search for SDS by manufacturer name or part number, product name or BSE part number. This provides you with an electronic tool for updating your SDS catalogs when you purchase products from Border States.
