Sevron announces an update to its COSHH365 tool, introducing a side-by-side comparison view for revised Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). This feature allows users to instantly identify changes between old and updated SDS versions before final approval, saving time and minimizing oversight risk.
Easier SDS Management For Seamless Compliance
Managing hundreds or thousands of Safety Data Sheets quickly becomes complex for many organisations. A recent EU-wide project by ECHA's Enforcement Forum found that "35% of the checked safety data sheets (SDS) were noncompliant," meaning over one-third of SDSs in UK businesses are outdated and possibly inaccurate.
When suppliers issue revised SDS documents, EHS managers must verify changes and their impact on risk assessments or COSHH documentation. Traditionally this meant manually comparing versions—a time-consuming process prone to human error. COSHH365's new comparison view directly addresses this challenge by simplifying document review and approval.
Sevron COSHH365 Ensures Accurate Safety Data Sheets at All Times
Once a revised SDS is uploaded, COSHH365 automatically detects the change and flags it for review. Users can open the new comparison view, where the screen displays both versions side-by-side with all changes—from text to hazard classifications—visually highlighted for quick identification. After reviewing, users can approve or reject changes directly within the platform. This process eliminates guesswork, ensures audit readiness, and strengthens version control for REACH and CLP regulatory compliance.
Quote from Leadership
"Our goal has always been to take the complexity out of SDS management. This new comparison feature reflects feedback from our users. They wanted a faster, more reliable way to understand what's changed before signing off. Now they can do it in seconds."
— Dale Allen, CEO
The SDS comparison view is now available for all COSHH365 users. To explore this feature or learn more about SDS management and compliance, book a demo or contact the support team.
