Hazard Communication
Managed Service
Make hazard communication predictable. Keep SDS and labels current across markets, with controlled quality and less operational drag.
What we manage:
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and extended SDS (eSDS) support across global requirements
Classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) and GHS support
Portfolio control and change visibility with Yordas Helix tools, such as SDS Manager
Connected services where hazard communication overlaps with notifications, including Poison Centre Notifications (PCN) support and guidance
The Problem We Solve
Most organisations do not struggle to produce an SDS. They struggle to keep hazard communication correct, consistent, and current when inputs change.
That challenge typically shows up as:
Rising time spent on authoring operations and exception handling
Rework and quality anxiety when regulations update or product data shifts
Bottlenecks where experienced staff are pulled into maintaining the process rather than reducing risk or enabling commercial activity
Your own content already recognises how complex SDS creation becomes once you factor in regulatory data, stakeholders, and the need for best-practice approaches, even when automation is used.
One recent study of SDS quality carried out by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) found that over 52% of the SDS for hazardous chemical mixtures were non-compliant.
45% of inspected companies had at least one non-compliance
33% of SDS had issues, shortcomings or deficiencies
52% of products had inconsistencies between their labels and SDS
Automation Alone Rarely Delivers The Expected Savings
Automation can be valuable. It can also create a hidden dependency: an internal owner who maintains the workflow, rules, phrase banks, data readiness, and QC to keep outputs defensible.
This is where the cost dynamic shifts:
The software cost is visible
The internal governance cost becomes embedded in high-value roles
The business pays in delay risk, rework, and the opportunity cost of diverting expert capacity
That is why we position managed delivery as an operating model choice, not a tooling choice. You can still use automation, but you should not have to carry the ongoing ownership burden internally.
This framing is also consistent with the wider market trend: major providers increasingly pair technology with managed content or services, acknowledging that compliance depends on more than software.
