101 Safety Data Sheet Resources: Chemical, Government, and Manufacturer SDS Resources, Software and Apps, and More
Safety data sheets (SDS), formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, are a critical piece of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. Safety data sheets are informational sources about chemicals that provide hazard information and safety precautions to those who store, handle, transport, use, and come into contact with the chemicals. Comprised of 16 sections, safety data sheets provide detailed information about substances and mixtures. Safety data sheets are created when substances and mixtures meet certain criteria for physical, health, or environmental hazards as designated by the GHS; they also are used for mixtures containing ingredients that cause cancer, harm reproduction, or exceed toxicity limits for specific mixtures. Some authorities also require SDS for mixtures containing hazardous ingredients in high concentrations.
Because safety data sheets are critical to the health and safety of people and the environment, it is imperative for those who manufacture, handle, or use chemicals to have the information they need to create them correctly. Having the appropriate information about the chemicals, substances, and mixtures is an important part of the process of creating SDS, as is having the correct tools and most up-to-date information about the safety data sheet requirements themselves.
We’ve rounded up 101 of the most informative, helpful SDS resources available online to ensure you have the information you need to create safety data sheets that are as accurate as possible. We have gathered resources from manufacturers, government agencies, chemical experts, and other authorities in the field, in addition to apps and software for creating safety data sheets, and we have categorized them to make it easy for you to find exactly the information and tools you need. We also have alphabetized the resources and tools within each category to simplify your search. And, we have included a table of contents so you can jump to the resources that are of most interest to you.
