      Who do I assign a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Survey?

      ComplyAuto Safety assists dealers in complying with OSHA regulations by providing access to millions of SDS for chemicals used on-site, offering a streamlined inventory process through SDS surveys divided among departments.

      OSHA requires that all dealers maintain a written Hazard Communication Program. A major component of any Hazard Communication Program is the maintenance of safety data sheets (SDS) for all chemicals stored and used at the facility.

      SDS provide workers with:

      • Critical information related to the properties of each chemical;
      • The physical, health, and environmental health hazards;
      • Protective measures; and
      • Safety precautions for handling, storing, and transporting the chemical.

      ComplyAuto Safety includes millions of SDS available at the dealership's fingertips for any chemicals they have at their facility, but it is often difficult to inventory all these chemicals. ComplyAuto’s SDS surveys are designed to streamline the inventory process by splitting up the workload among different department or facility managers.

      Follow the steps below to learn how to assign SDS surveys. 

      • Log in to the Safety Portal and click on the “Safety Data Sheets” drop down on the left hand menu,
        • Then click “Surveys.”

      • Click on the “Assign Survey” button.

      • A pop-up menu will appear where you will:
        • select the location for which you wish to send a survey,
        • assign the survey to an existing user by searching by name, or
        • assign the survey to a new user by clicking on the “Create New Assignee” button and fill in the required fields. 

      💡 You can also assign the survey on behalf of someone else by searching for an existing user at the bottom of the pop-up window.

      •  Click the “Assign Survey” button at the bottom right of the pop-up window.
        • The assignee will receive an email with a link to complete the survey.
          • Once surveys are assigned, you can navigate through the tabs on the “SDS Survey” screen to view surveys that have been assigned to you, others’ surveys, and completed surveys.
          • For others’ surveys, you’ll also have the option to view their progress, resend a reminder email to the assignee, reassign the survey, or cancel the survey.
          • This can be done by using the buttons in the table next to each survey under the “Others’ Surveys” tab.
