CAPABILITIES / QR SCAN-TO-SDS

A QR code on the container that opens the right sheet

The person who needs an SDS is standing next to the chemical, not sitting at a desk. Put the code on the drum, the bottle, or the shelf edge — one scan opens the current sheet on their phone. No account, no login, no hunting.

What scan-to-SDS is

Every sheet in your library gets a share link that works without an account — and a QR code that carries it. Print the code and fix it to the container or the work area. Scanning opens that product's current SDS in the phone's browser, straight from your hosted library.
Because the code points at the library record — not at a copy of the file — it never goes stale. Replace the sheet behind it and every printed code on site now opens the new revision.

Why it matters for compliance

The rule

OSHA HazCom requires SDSs to be readily accessible during each work shift to employees when they are in their work areas. A phone already in their pocket, scanning a code already on the container, is the shortest path that exists.

How SDS HQ does it

  • One code per sheet — generate and print QR codes for any sheet in the library, individually or in batches.
  • No login on scan — codes resolve to a viewer page that needs no account; viewer access is always free.
  • Always the current revision — codes follow the library record, so re-uploading or re-publishing a sheet updates every code in the field.
  • On your labels too — GHS container labels generated by SDS HQ carry a scan-to-SDS code automatically.
