Graph Advantage

Every SDS Connected to Your Entire Compliance Ecosystem

Most SDS management tools are digital filing cabinets. SafeGenics connects every SDS to the chemicals in your inventory, the thresholds that trigger reporting, and the regulations that apply — through the Compliance Intelligence Graph.

CAS-Centric Identity Resolution

The same chemical appears under dozens of product names across your facilities. Sulfuric acid might be “IndustriClean Pro” from one supplier and “Battery Electrolyte 38%” from another. Legacy SDS tools manage documents — SafeGenics resolves chemical identity.
When an SDS is uploaded, SafeGenics parses Section 3 (Composition), extracts CAS numbers and concentration ranges, resolves each ingredient to a canonical chemical entity in the graph, and automatically links it to EPCRA thresholds, OSHA PELs, and state-specific regulations. Every resolution event is auditable.

GHS Rev 7 Changes

What Changed in OSHA HazCom 2024

OSHA’s May 2024 final rule (29 CFR 1910.1200) is the most significant HazCom update since 2012. SafeGenics is built to handle every change.

🆕

New Hazard Classes

“Chemicals Under Pressure” introduced from GHS Rev 8. “Desensitized Explosives” adopted from GHS Rev 7. Pyrophoric gases reclassified from OSHA-defined hazards into the flammable gases class. These require new pictograms and precautionary statements on labels and SDSs.
Appendix A ¡ GHS Rev 7 & 8

🔬

Updated Classification Criteria

Revised criteria for aerosols, flammable gases (now includes Category 1A, 1B, and 2), skin corrosion/irritation, and serious eye damage. Non-animal test methods from GHS Rev 8 added for skin corrosion to promote alternative testing methods.
Appendix A & B ¡ 29 CFR 1910.1200

🏷️

Label & SDS Updates

Small container labeling provisions for 3 mL and 100 mL containers (aligned with WHMIS). Bulk shipment labels may now be transmitted electronically. DOT pictograms no longer required to be excluded when HCS pictograms are present. SDS Sections 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 14 revised.
Appendix C & D ¡ Paragraph (f)(12)

🔒

Trade Secret Changes

Mandatory use of prescribed concentration ranges when exact percentages are claimed as trade secrets in Section 3 of the SDS. Ranges align with Health Canada’s WHMIS, improving cross-border regulatory consistency for manufacturers operating in both countries.
Paragraph (i) ¡ WHMIS alignment

📋

SDS Section 9 Overhaul

Section 9 (Physical and Chemical Properties) now follows the GHS Rev 7 ordering — physical state listed before color. Additional required properties for flammable liquids include storage provisions. The standardized property list improves consistency across manufacturers.
Appendix D ¡ Section 9

🌐

International Alignment

Better alignment with Health Canada’s WHMIS, the EU’s CLP regulation, and other U.S. agencies. Eight new defined terms added (bulk shipment, combustible dust, gas, liquid, solid, immediate outer package, PLHCP, released for shipment). Supports cross-border compliance for multinational operations.

How It Works

SDS Lifecycle — From Upload to Obligation

Follow an SDS through SafeGenics, from the moment it enters the system to the regulatory obligations it triggers.

Step 01 — Ingest

SDS Upload & Parsing

Upload SDS documents as PDFs, or connect to manufacturer feeds for automatic updates. SafeGenics AI parses all 16 sections, extracting structured data: product name, manufacturer, CAS numbers, concentration ranges, hazard classifications, GHS pictograms, signal words, H-statements, P-statements, exposure limits, and transport classification.

Step 02 — Resolve

CAS-Centric Identity Resolution

Each ingredient CAS number is resolved to a canonical chemical entity in the graph. “IndustriClean Pro” becomes sulfuric acid (CAS 7664-93-9) at 15–20% and phosphoric acid (CAS 7664-38-2) at 5–10%. Every resolution event is logged with an auditable trail. Mixtures are decomposed to their constituent ingredients for accurate threshold calculation.

Step 03 — Classify

GHS Classification & Validation

SafeGenics validates the manufacturer’s hazard classification against GHS Rev 7 criteria and flags discrepancies. Missing pictograms, incorrect signal words, or outdated classification categories are identified. For the HazCom 2024 transition, the system detects SDSs still using GHS Rev 3 (2012) classification and flags them for update.

Step 04 — Connect

Graph Linking & Obligation Detection

Resolved chemicals link to your inventory quantities, facility locations, EPCRA thresholds, OSHA PELs, state-specific regulations, and Tier II reporting requirements. If a newly uploaded SDS reveals an ingredient you’re storing above threshold, SafeGenics generates the obligation automatically — before the next reporting deadline.

Step 05 — Label

Compliant Label Generation

Generate GHS-compliant secondary container labels with all required elements: product identifier, signal word, hazard statements, precautionary statements, pictograms, and supplier information. Supports multiple label sizes including small container provisions (3 mL and 100 mL) per the HazCom 2024 rule.

Step 06 — Monitor

Change Detection & Alerts

When a manufacturer issues an updated SDS, SafeGenics detects changes across all 16 sections and alerts affected facilities. If a classification changes — say, a product adds a new hazard category — the system identifies which labels need reprinting, which training needs updating, and which regulatory obligations are affected.

Frequently Asked Questions

On May 20, 2024, OSHA published a final rule updating the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) to align with GHS Revision 7 — the first major update since the 2012 alignment with GHS Rev 3. The rule took effect July 19, 2024, but compliance is phased. On January 15, 2026, OSHA issued a four-month extension to all deadlines. The new schedule: manufacturers/importers/distributors must update SDSs and labels for substances by May 19, 2026, and for mixtures by November 19, 2027. Employers must update workplace labeling, HazCom programs, and training for substances by November 20, 2026, and for mixtures by May 19, 2028. During the transition, you may comply with HCS 2012, HCS 2024, or both.
The HazCom 2024 rule introduces Chemicals Under Pressure (adopted from GHS Rev 8) and Desensitized Explosives (from GHS Rev 7). Additionally, pyrophoric gases were reclassified from OSHA-defined hazards into the flammable gases class. Flammable gases now include Category 1A, 1B, and 2. Aerosol classification criteria were also updated. These new classes require new pictograms, signal words, and precautionary statements on both labels and SDSs. SafeGenics detects SDSs that lack these new classifications and flags them for update before your compliance deadline.
Most SDS platforms store and retrieve documents — they’re digital filing cabinets. SafeGenics parses all 16 sections and extracts structured data: CAS numbers, concentration ranges, hazard codes, exposure limits, and transport classifications. This data feeds into the Compliance Intelligence Graph, where each ingredient is resolved to a canonical chemical entity. The graph then links that chemical to your inventory quantities, EPCRA thresholds, OSHA PELs, state regulations, and Tier II obligations. So when you upload an SDS for a cleaning product, SafeGenics doesn’t just file it — it knows you have sulfuric acid at 18% concentration, calculates the actual ingredient quantity across your facilities, and determines whether you’ve crossed a reporting threshold.
The same chemical appears under dozens of trade names across your facilities. “IndustriClean Pro,” “Battery Electrolyte 38%,” and “Drain-O-Matic” might all contain sulfuric acid at different concentrations. Traditional systems track products — SafeGenics tracks chemicals. When an SDS is parsed, each CAS number is resolved to a canonical chemical entity. Sulfuric acid (CAS 7664-93-9) is sulfuric acid regardless of what product it’s in. The system then aggregates the actual ingredient quantities across all products at each facility to determine accurate threshold positions. This is critical for Tier II reporting, where thresholds are based on the chemical quantity, not the product quantity.
Yes. SafeGenics scans your entire SDS library and identifies documents still using GHS Rev 3 (2012) classification criteria. Specifically, it flags SDSs that: lack new hazard classes (Chemicals Under Pressure, Desensitized Explosives), use outdated flammable gas categories, have Section 9 properties in the old order instead of the GHS Rev 7 order, are missing updated precautionary statements, or don’t include prescribed concentration ranges where trade secrets are claimed. The system generates a prioritized remediation list so you can work through updates systematically before the May 19, 2026 deadline for substances and November 19, 2027 deadline for mixtures.
When a manufacturer issues an updated SDS, SafeGenics performs a section-by-section diff analysis comparing the new version against the previous one. The system identifies exactly what changed — a new hazard classification in Section 2, a revised concentration range in Section 3, an updated exposure limit in Section 8 — and generates an impact analysis. This analysis shows which facilities stock the affected product, which labels need reprinting, whether employee training must be updated, and whether the change affects your Tier II reporting data or EPCRA threshold positions. Alerts route to the right people based on the severity of the change.
Yes. OSHA’s HazCom 2024 update specifically improved alignment with Health Canada’s WHMIS, including small container labeling provisions and prescribed concentration ranges for trade secrets. SafeGenics supports both OSHA HCS and WHMIS requirements, making it suitable for organizations operating across the US-Canada border. The GHS Rev 7 alignment further harmonizes classification criteria between the two countries, reducing the need for duplicate SDSs.
This is SafeGenics’ core differentiator. When an SDS is parsed and its ingredients are resolved via CAS numbers, those chemicals are automatically linked to your inventory quantities at each facility. The graph continuously calculates whether the aggregated quantity of each chemical exceeds EPCRA reporting thresholds (10,000 lbs general, or 500 lbs / TPQ for EHS chemicals). If a new SDS reveals an ingredient you didn’t know you had — say, a cleaning product contains an EHS chemical at 5% concentration — SafeGenics recalculates your threshold position instantly. No other SDS platform does this because they don’t have the graph connecting SDSs to inventory to thresholds to obligations.
