Compliance should be intelligent, not manual
SafeGenics is building the Compliance Intelligence Platform — a graph-powered system that makes environmental health and safety compliance explainable, auditable, and automated for every regulated facility.
Origin
We started with a question no one could answer quickly
“Why does this facility need to file Tier II for sulfuric acid?” It sounds simple. But answering it requires tracing from the product on the shelf, to the SDS, to the ingredient concentrations, to the facility-level aggregate quantities, to the EPCRA threshold for that specific chemical, to the jurisdiction-specific rules that may override federal defaults.
That chain of reasoning takes an experienced EHS professional 30–45 minutes. For a facility with dozens of chemicals, it takes weeks. For a multi-site organization, it’s a perpetual fire drill every winter as the March 1 deadline approaches.
We realized the problem isn’t a lack of data — it’s that compliance obligations emerge from relationships between data. Between chemicals and thresholds. Between SDSs and ingredients. Between facilities and jurisdictions. Between regulations and deadlines. Traditional databases store data in disconnected tables. The relationships live only in the EHS manager’s head.
SafeGenics was founded to put those relationships into a graph — and make compliance intelligent, not just automated.
The founding insight
Compliance obligations are graph problems, not spreadsheet problems
A single Tier II obligation connects five entity types across three regulatory layers. No spreadsheet can model this. A knowledge graph can — natively, with full explainability.

Values
What drives us
These aren’t aspirational posters on a wall. They’re the principles that shape every engineering decision, every product feature, and every customer interaction.
🎯
Accuracy first
Compliance is binary — you’re compliant or you’re not. Every threshold calculation, every obligation detection, every filing must be correct. We don’t ship features that sacrifice precision for speed.
🔍
Explainability over automation
Automation that can’t explain itself is a liability in regulated industries. When SafeGenics says “file Tier II,” it shows exactly why — which SDS, which ingredient, which threshold, which jurisdiction. Auditors don’t accept black boxes.
🧠
Deep domain knowledge
We hire chemists, environmental engineers, and compliance professionals alongside software engineers. Domain expertise isn’t something you can abstract away — it’s embedded in our graph model, our threshold logic, and our regulatory engines.
🏗️
Architecture matters
The Compliance Intelligence Graph isn’t a feature — it’s a fundamentally different way to model regulatory reality. We chose a harder path because relational databases can’t natively represent the multi-hop relationships that define compliance.
🛡️
Earn trust through transparency
Regulated industries don’t adopt software on faith. We publish our security certifications, explain our architecture, provide evidence chains for every obligation, and make our reasoning auditable at the graph node level.
⚡
Ship what matters
EHS teams are under-resourced and over-regulated. Every feature we build must measurably reduce their burden — not add another dashboard to check. If a feature doesn’t save time or prevent a violation, we don’t build it.
Our approach
How we're different
Legacy EHS platforms digitize existing processes. SafeGenics reimagines what’s possible when compliance data lives in a knowledge graph.
CAS-centric identity resolution
Legacy tools track products. SafeGenics decomposes mixtures to their chemical ingredients using SDS Section 3 data, resolves each to a canonical CAS number, and aggregates at the ingredient level. This is how you catch the sulfuric acid in forklift batteries that pushes you over the EHS threshold.
Real-time obligation detection
Legacy tools help you fill out forms once a year. SafeGenics recalculates obligations on every inventory change — when a shipment arrives, when an SDS is updated, when a regulation changes. You know your compliance status today, not just at year-end.
Multi-hop compliance answers
Ask “Why must this facility file?” and the graph traverses SDS → Chemical → Inventory → Threshold → Obligation in milliseconds. Traditional databases require complex JOIN chains that break down at scale. The graph makes this traversal native.
Proactive change management
When EPA publishes a new rule in the Federal Register, SafeGenics simulates the impact on your specific facilities — which thresholds would change, which obligations would be created or removed — before the rule takes effect. You’re never caught off guard.
