Drop an SDS. The form fills itself.

Stop retyping safety data sheets. Upload the PDF and ENSURE's AI extracts GHS pictograms, H/P statements, PPE, first-aid, storage and spill response, preserving the source language. Re-upload a sheet you have already captured and it comes straight back: no re-typing.

The problem

SDS data entry is the worst job in HSE.

Every chemical your org uses needs a Safety Data Sheet on file, and every SDS has 16 sections of structured data that someone has to retype into a chemicals register. A 200-chemical lab loses weeks doing this. Suppliers re-issue SDS sheets annually, and the work happens again.

One upload, every field pre-filled

Drop the SDS. The AI returns chemical name, CAS, supplier, physical state, GHS pictograms, H/P statements, required PPE, storage, first-aid, spill response, version + date. You review and save.

  • Preserves source language (EN / FR / DE / ES / IT / NL)
  • GHS pictogram codes from Section 2, auto-mapped to icons
  • Every PPE item from Section 8 listed individually

Re-uploads are free

Suppliers re-issue the same safety data sheet every year. Upload one you have captured before and ENSURE recognises it instantly: the details come straight back, with nothing to re-type and no waiting.

  • A supplier's annual re-issue is zero extra work
  • Your extracted library stays private to your organisation
  • The register updates without anyone re-keying a sheet

EPP-linked spill response

The spill scenario in your Emergency Preparedness Plan can multi-select chemicals from this register, and their spill-response notes flow into the plan and its PDF.

  • Chemical multi-select on chemical_spill EPP scenarios
  • Linked chemicals' spill-response notes flow into the emergency plan/PDF
  • Drill records reference the chemicals involved

SDS data drives your safety operations.

A chemicals register isn't an end in itself: it feeds JHAs, PPE matrices, emergency response, and incident investigations. ENSURE keeps the data live across all of them.

Common questions

What QHSE Managers ask us first.

What if the AI misreads a field on the SDS?+

The AI pre-fills the fields (chemical name, CAS, supplier, GHS pictograms, H/P statements, PPE, storage, first-aid, spill response, version and date) and then you review and save. Nothing is committed without your check. GHS pictograms are read from Section 2 and every PPE item from Section 8 is listed individually, so you're confirming structured fields against the source sheet rather than retyping them.

Our SDS sheets aren't in English. Does that work?+

Yes. Extraction preserves the source language (EN, FR, DE, ES, IT and NL) so a French acetone SDS comes back as Acétone with its PPE in French. You don't have to translate sheets before uploading or normalise everything to one language first.

Suppliers re-issue SDS sheets every year. Do we redo all that work?+

No. When you upload a sheet ENSURE has already captured for your organisation, it's recognised instantly and the details come straight back (chemical name, GHS pictograms, PPE, storage and the rest) with nothing to re-type. A supplier's annual re-issue becomes a few seconds of review instead of a fresh data-entry job, and that recognition stays private to your own organisation's library.

Once chemicals are in the register, is it just a list?+

No. The register feeds JHAs, PPE matrices, emergency response and incident investigations, and ENSURE keeps the data live across all of them. A chemical-spill scenario in your Emergency Preparedness Plan can multi-select chemicals from the register, and their spill-response notes flow into the plan and its PDF. If a spill later becomes an incident, the SDS, JHA and EPP records are already linked.
