Manufacturers that produce or use chemicals and hazardous materials need to ensure safe transportation, storage, use, and disposal as directed by a wide variety of material and product safety regulations, such as GHS1, IMDG2, and DGR3. Whether you're creating country-specific MSDS4 forms to keep employees safe, meeting packaging and transportation safety requirements from agencies including OSHA5, or ensuring purchasing controls, safety is a core and non-negotiable objective for any business to be sustainable.

As a result, product safety stakeholders are asking:

  • How can I more efficiently meet the changing regulations from OSHA, EPA, and other agencies globally?
  • How can I track registration and allowed volumes of regulated substances directly with sales and distribution data to reduce risk and time to market?
  • How can I put controls in place across my product lifecycle processes to drive efficiency and reduce risk?
