Stop Using Spreadsheets: Modernize SDS Management in the Hygiene & Disinfecting Sector
Article
In the hygiene and disinfecting industry, chemical safety is critical—but managing Safety Data Sheets (SDS) with spreadsheets is no longer a viable strategy.
If your team is still relying on Excel files or shared drives to keep track of chemical data you’re likely running into growing frustration and unnecessary risk.
From hospital disinfectants and industrial cleaners to everyday sanitation products, the variety and volume of chemical substances in your portfolio require a smarter way to manage safety information. Manually collecting and reviewing SDS files across product lines, partners, or facilities slows you down and increases the potential for compliance gaps.
It’s time to ask the tough question: Are your tools holding you back?
The Challenges of Outdated SDS Practices
Too much time spent on manual tasks
Sifting through unstructured SDS documents one by one drains resources and leads to inconsistencies. It’s easy to miss updates, overlook risks, or duplicate efforts.
Limited expertise in chemical hazard analysis
Interpreting complex chemical information isn’t straightforward—especially if your team doesn’t include toxicologists or compliance specialists.
Language and formatting issues
SDSs come in different languages and layouts, making it difficult to extract the right data or understand ingredient risks across regions.
Inconsistent data from different suppliers
Without a standard process, each supplier submits SDSs their own way, making comparisons and risk assessments incredibly difficult.
Safety blind spots
Buried SDS files and manual systems can result in missed warnings, unidentified restricted substances, or even regulatory violations.
Difficulty demonstrating compliance
With more scrutiny on chemical use, regulators and stakeholders want proof. Spreadsheets don’t provide the visibility or confidence needed to show control over your chemical safety strategy.
