Module 15, Advanced Preparation of Safety Data Sheets
Who Should Attend
Benefits Of Attending?
Attendance on this series of modules will ensure that your SDSs meet the increasing expectations of both your customers and the regulators. The content of this module considers the changes under REACH and introduction of some new terminology. It will also serve as an introduction to Module 20 (The Extended SDS, Understanding Exposure Scenarios). To ensure the most effective training with optimum involvement in participative exercises, there will be a limit of 14 on the number of students. It is expected that those attending will already have reasonable experience in writing and reading SDSs.
IOSH members are entitled to include this module in their continuing professional development records.
Even if those writing an SDS have a full grasp of the science behind supply classification and labelling and can understand the mysteries of transport requirements, this counts for little if it is not possible to source data or if the component chemicals are not correctly identified.
Likewise, if there is no data trail, how can your decisions on how to classify be justified in the event of a challenge by customers or regulators? Have you considered your customers uses and the scenarios for exposure when preparing the SDS?
Even if using good SDS authoring software, you still need to think carefully about the information entered. This module aims to make you think.
Topics covered will include:

EU Brexit
The 'Brexit' outcome from the June 2016 referendum is unlikely to affect the importance of compliance with EU legislation. As now, businesses supplying chemicals in other EU Member States or in the European Economic Area will have to comply with European law. The future requirements on those supplying chemicals only in the UK may only become certain when the terms of the exit have been agreed. However existing experience is that open access to the EU market is associated with national adherence to the same standards.
