Are you paying too much for an SDS collection that is bloated with out-of-date, obsolete, duplicate sheets? Here's how to easily clean up your collection, ensure #WHMIS compliance, and save money too: #ohs #ohssafety #chemicalsafety #msds #workplacesafety

Over the last decade, three challenges to SDS management have arisen that can cost you time and money. Learn how to avoid these. The first challenge is the adoption of WHMIS 2015. Today, suppliers no longer have to update SDSs every 3 years. Instead, they're required to issue updates within 90 days of becoming aware of significant new information. While this is a welcome change by suppliers, for those maintaining SDSs, the date of the SDS is no longer the only metric to determine it's compliance. The second challenge is that the sheer number of mergers, acquisitions and rebranding make it difficult to track which company owns the product resulting in duplicate SDSs and/or obsolete products. The third challenge is that the majority of suppliers no longer have resources available to provide SDSs. End users must obtain SDSs from websites, which may or may not be based in Canada. These challenges can leave you floundering about how and when to update SDSs which are the basis for your regulatory compliance and #chemicalsafety. Good SDS management providers can help. It's our area of expertise to develop sustainable practices for SDS management. Look for providers with transparent processes to: ✅ easily see the date the SDS was last confirmed ✅ view target dates for next review ✅ track and link mergers, acquisitions and rebranding ✅ automate archiving of replaced SDSs ✅ enable merging of duplicates ✅ identify SDSs suspected to be obsolete and their location of use ✅ provide dashboards about SDS age, hazards, and system usage at a glance To learn more about how SDS RiskAssist can take the stress out of SDS management, reach out.

Question!! Do you allow visitors into cleanrooms and controlled areas without an escort?🚫 If the answer is yes, it might be time to reconsider. 👥 Who Are These Visitors? They could be anyone from vendors and outside equipment technicians to inspectors and auditors. While their intentions may be good, the risks are real. 🚦 The Gap in Understanding Personnel and Material Flow Procedures: Let's face it, not everyone knows the ins and outs of a cleanroom like we do. Visitors may not be familiar with personnel and material flow procedures, which can be a significant risk, especially if there's a lack of signage or prior training. One wrong move, such as failing to properly gown or carry in non-GMP items like cardboard, can compromise the entire operation. This is especially true for CGT organizations manufacturing viral vector therapies. 🦠 New Annex 1 Guidance on Microbiological Controls: The revised Annex 1 that went effective on August 25, 2023 emphasizes the importance of microbiological controls in cleanrooms. Contamination control strategies require organizations to consider all avenues of contamination or cross contamination. This includes a maximum time limit for cleanroom garments. Unescorted visitors can inadvertently introduce contaminants, putting your compliance with these new guidelines at risk. 🛡️ Contamination Control: We invest so much in HEPA filters, airlocks, and PPE to control contamination. Allowing unescorted visitors into these areas can undo all these efforts in a heartbeat. Contamination doesn't just affect product quality; it can also lead to costly recalls, regulatory actions, and in the worst cases, impact patient safety. "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing." - Warren Buffett. Remember, unless trained, visitors may not be familiar with your organization's specific procedures and behavioral expectations. 👉 The Solution: Always ensure that visitors are escorted by trained personnel who can guide them through the maze of protocols and procedures. It's not just about being a good host; it's about safeguarding the integrity of our operations. #manufacturing #cleanroom #contaminationcontrol #annex1 #microbiology #operationalexcellence
