The long sought goal of handling MSDS’s without paper is finally becoming a reality through a breakthrough technology for transmitting Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) electronically. As a result, companies creating these regulatory documents and automatically dispatching to their customers may reduce paper generation costs as much as 75%. In addition, companies will be providing an important customer service by simplifying the MSDS transmission process, a long desired request of their customers.

MSDS Generation Through the Hazox Formulation Application
The same Windows editing features used for creating templates, standard phrases and complete MSDS’s can now be applied to create MSDS’s concurrently for electronic transmission as well as for FAX or paper distribution. As a result, the user can establish a variety of distribution options during the process of creating MSDS’s.

Code Tagging
Hazox’s unique design of flexible fields added to the MSDS authoring application makes it possible to tag MSDS’s for electronic transmission. This tagging places codes at user-defined locations in the body of the MSDS. The codes, in turn, are used by receiving organizations for indexing their MSDS’s. The codes are standard open system computer language and not a proprietary Hazox language. MSDS’s, when printed, do not show the embedded codes.
