Technicians used to walk to the office to pull an SDS off the desktop. That is no longer the workflow. ShopShield's mobile app now pulls the right Safety Data Sheet from a barcode scan or a product-name search directly on the technician's phone.
How it works
- Open the ShopShield app, tap the scan icon, and point the camera at the product label or barcode.
- The app matches the label against the shop's chemical inventory and shows the SDS, with Sections 4 (first aid), 5 (firefighting), and 6 (accidental release) anchored at the top.
- Search by product name with typo tolerance for the cases where the barcode is worn off.
Offline cache
The technician's phone caches the shop's full SDS library on first sync. If the network is down or the booth is in a dead zone, the SDS is still available. The cache refreshes automatically when connectivity returns.
Why it matters for inspections
29 CFR 1910.1200(g) requires that SDSs be readily accessible to employees during each work shift in the work area. A technician with the SDS on their phone is the cleanest possible answer to that requirement. The OSHA inspector evaluating "readily accessible" sees the technician produce the sheet at the booth in seconds.
