What is MSDSonline?
MSDSonline is a commercial management system that eliminates the need to retain and manage paper ("hard") copies of SDSs - which was traditionally done in a three ring binder. Instead, SDSs are managed electronically, which automates the task of keeping those binders up-to-date - while retaining the concept of a binder.
In the program, assigned Administrators will place SDSs for the products their departments use in an electronic binder, known in the system as an "eBinder". General Users, if they choose their department, will have their search initially limited to the eBinder where they will only see the SDSs for the products used by their unit - however, the system also allows the user to search the millions of SDSs available from the vendor. And when a manufacturer updates an SDS with new information, the system allows MU to instantly update everyone's eBinder at once - so users are getting the most up-to-date information available.
Users: How to Access the System
MSDSonline is being sponsored by Environmental Health & Safety (EHS). In conjunction with unit administrators, EHS has set up a system that provides eBinders for various units. You may access the system from the link at the top of this page, which will open a new page. You may refer back to this page for assistance in using the system.
