Global Regulatory Compliance

Gradient used a SDS-authoring platform to generate and update over 500 SDSs OSHA-complaint SDSs, as well as those for other jurisdictions around the world (e.g., China, New Zealand, Australia, European Union). In addition, we have generated SDSs without the use of a software program, tailoring the format and approach to the specific needs of the client.

Gradient conducted GHS-based hazard assessments for a chemical portfolio consisting of more than 2,000 chemicals used in the formulation of tens of thousands of products. To efficiently complete the task we also developed a comprehensive hazard information database that was used to document and track component-level conclusions, calculate product level classifications, and identify necessary ingredient disclosures across international jurisdictions The hazard assessments were used to update more than 3,000 US and international Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and labels to meet GHS compliance requirements.

Gradient generated a detailed, OSHA-compliant safety data sheet (SDS) for the manufacture and use of a metal in the United States. We performed a comprehensive toxicological and ecological hazard review of the metal and incorporated US-specific regulatory information. In addition to this, we evaluated OSHA and Department of Transportation requirements for classification and recommended testing methods for evaluating dust combustibility. The final product was a detailed and compliant SDS that could be used to convey substance-specific toxicity and risk information for a general public audience.

Gradient evaluated SDS Requirements for natural food colorant products according to OSHA 2012 Haz Com Standard. The analysis involved a nuanced interpretation of a product ingredient associated with eye irritation. In addition, Gradient summarized requirements for a Hazard Communication Plan and Worker Training program under OSHA.
