Internet Application |
|
|
There is no software required for this service. All you need is an Internet
connection, a web browser and Adobe Acrobat reader plug-in which is free
from
Adobe. We manage your MSDS documents in a private database that
can only be accessed by you with your assigned password. Unlike similar
web based MSDS services, your MSDS documents are not shared with other
users. Your information is secure. |

Sending MSDS |
|
|
You simply send us all of your MSDS documents for scanning and indexing
(data entry). Your may either send them via regular mail, fax or by email.
If you request, we will send the documents back to you for your records
after they have been scanned and indexed. While we are entering the data
into the database, you may call us 24/7 for MSDS information in the event of an
emergency. We have an average turnaround time of 2 weeks for 1,000 MSDS
documents. Volumes less than this can usually be on-line within 1 week. |

Scanning and Data Entry |
|
|
The MSDS documents are scanned into our database and
converted to Adobe PDF format. If you desire other formats such as
Word®, you must provide us with the file. Please note that the scanned
image is only as good as the original MSDS that you send us, although we
can adjust the contrast and brightness to enhance the document to some
extent. The following information is indexed (input)
into the database from each MSDS. Indexed information means that you can
perform MSDS searches by those fields and sort by those fields as well.
The fields that are indexed, searchable and sortable include:
- Product Name
- Part Number (if you assign
one)
- Synonyms
- CAS Number
- Supplier Name
- MSDS Issue Date
You can also perform searches by using multiple search
criteria such as product name and supplier, etc. |

User Name and Password |
|
|
You will be assigned a username and password. Up to 10 additional
usernames and passwords can be made available at no extra charge. When you
or your employees log in to the system, the search page appears in the
browser and shows your company's logo and your company's internal MSDS contact information (name,
phone number, email, etc.). This is the person the user would contact for
more information regarding the use of the substance. If you have product
MSDS that you want your customers to have access to, simply ask for a
third-party username and password. Your customers will then be able to log
in to the system and view only your product MSDS documents.

Searching, Viewing and
Printing |
|
|
Finding an MSDS is easy with OfficeMSDS®.
Searches can be performed on any of the following fields:
- - Product Name
- - Product Part Number
- - Synonyms
- - Supplier Name
- - Part Number
- - MSDS Issue Date
You can select one search field or multiple search fields. For
example, instead of just searching the product name field for acetone,
you could search the product name field for acetone and the supplier
name field for Fisher to find acetone that is supplied by Fisher. You
can also enter partial search terms. If you enter "aceto", say
for example in the product name field, it will return results for
acetone,
acetonitrile and so on.
Your search term is also highlighted on the results page to make
information retrieval easier.
Once you
have found the MSDS record that you want, you simply click the PDF Icon to view, print
or email the document. |

Updated and Archived MSDS Documents |
|
|
When you receive new or updated MSDS documents, simply send them directly
to us. We will scan them and enter them into the database. For updated
documents, the older MSDS versions will be archived in the database. While
MSDS searches show only the most recent MSDS document, users can see all
of the older MSDS versions for a particular product by simply checking the
"show archives" box. This allows our members to comply with OSHA's 30 year
MSDS retention requirement. When we have completed updating the record, we
will send the MSDS back to you if requested.
