Most MSDS generating software is sold as part of a wider process manufacturing software application. Process manufacturing software is a necessary component of any process-based manufacturing operation such as food production, paint and stain production and of course, chemical production. The primary function of MSDS generating software is to determine and provide accurate labels for chemicals and chemical compounds that meet the safety requirements of those purchasing the chemicals and the regulatory requirements of the various pertinent regulatory agencies and Federal acts that are placed under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency. Agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and acts such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation & Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) provide just a portion of the regulatory labeling protocols that must be met.
The importance of proper MSDS and other necessary documentation should not be overlooked by anyone in the chemical manufacturing, processing or distribution business. Making this type of data available is not only a safety responsibility; it is also a federal requirement. Keeping current with regulatory guidelines by utilizing the proper MSDS generating software is an excellent way to maintain compliance for businesses involved in the chemical manufacturing industry.

Webinar: Green chemicals & chemicals policy-innovative approaches to approaching occupational hazards
Keynote Address:
Green Chemistry and Chemicals Policy:
Innovative Approaches to Addressing Occupational Hazards
An Exclusive Event Within the Occupational Hazards Safety WebExpo & Conference
Presented By:
Michael P. Wilson, PhD, MPH and Megan R. Schwarzman, MD, MPH
Program in Green Chemistry and Chemicals Policy
Center for Occupational and Environmental Health, UC, Berkeley School of Public Health
Date : May 08, 2008
Time : 10:00am EST
Because many industrial processes involve close contact with hazardous substances, workers are disproportionately affected by diseases associated with chemical exposures. In 2004 – the most recent year for which data are available – there were over 200,000 cases of occupational disease directly attributable to chemical exposures in California workplaces. These diseases are eminently preventable. As it stands, however, prevention is stymied by gaps in knowledge about the toxic effects of chemicals, the scope of workplace exposures, and the extent of the diseases they contribute to.
Traditional approaches to mitigate occupational chemical exposures have been largely ineffective, relying on monitoring and re-location of hazards, rather than prioritizing prevention in the design phase of chemical and manufacturing processes. To date, for example, permissible exposure limits have been established for only 193 (7%) of 3,000 High Production Volume Chemicals in the U.S.
Lacking an effective legal structure, even the most hazardous chemical substances continue to be price-competitive in the market. With some 42 billion pounds of industrial chemicals entering commerce each day in the U.S., new strategies are needed to reduce hazardous workplace exposures. .
The field of green chemistry focuses on the design, manufacture and use of chemicals, products and processes to reduce or eliminate adverse effects on human health and ecosystems. Advancements in the field will support businesses and industries, as well as communities, workers and public agencies in their efforts to minimize the use of toxic chemicals in industrial processes and products. Advancements in green chemistry practices can also open new opportunities for green collar jobs, while at the same time ensuring that these new jobs are also safer jobs.
In addition to presenting the findings of our recent report to California EPA, Green Chemistry: Cornerstone to a Sustainable California (http://coeh.berkeley.edu/greenchemistry/briefing), we will address the following topics:
* Long-standing weaknesses in federal policy that have produced a flawed chemicals market in the U.S. and the consequences of these failed policies for the public, workers and the environment
* New European Union policies and efforts that are opening new possibilities for a new approach to chemicals policy in the U.S..
* Implications of green chemistry for occupational and environmental health
