Problem
Chemical safety records are often fragmented across spreadsheets, PDFs, and folders, causing the same product to be described inconsistently across a register, SDS library, location list, and assessment documents. This disconnection leads to outdated SDS versions, missed review dates, and safety decisions that depend on one person's memory, creating compliance risks and operational delays.
Solution
Safe Foundry provides a connected platform that links chemical registers, SDS libraries, storage locations, and COSHH/DSEAR assessments in one searchable system. The platform uses form-first workflows and optional AI assistance to speed up SDS transcription and draft structured assessments, while ensuring that human review and sign-off remain with competent people. It supports version-controlled SDS documents, location tracking with QR labels, and deterministic segregation checks based on confirmed transport-class data. The system keeps product identity, locations, and assessment work connected across sites, with clear audit trails that show the document chain and resulting decisions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UK-based teams managing chemicals across construction, manufacturing, life sciences, healthcare, education, facilities, logistics, and energy sectors, including safety officers, COSHH assessors, and site managers who need connected chemical records and assessment workflows.
