SDS FAQs

What is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and why does it matter on construction sites?

A Safety Data Sheet is a standardised document detailing the hazards, handling instructions, and emergency procedures for a chemical product. UK and Irish regulations require SDS to be readily accessible to workers exposed to hazardous chemicals on site.

How do subcontractors submit Safety Data Sheets in HammerTech?

Subcontractors submit SDS directly through HammerTech for review and approval by the principal contractor. Once approved, documents are added to the project register and made accessible on site.

Can HammerTech use AI to extract information from SDS documents?

Yes. HammerTech Intelligence reads uploaded SDS PDFs and automatically populates key fields, reducing manual data entry and speeding up the submission and approval process.

Can SDS be linked to RAMS in HammerTech?

Yes. HammerTech connects Safety Data Sheets to RAMS, so crews working with specific chemicals have direct access to relevant hazard information during their planning workflow.

Can I export the SDS register for audits or compliance reporting?

Yes. HammerTech generates a complete, exportable SDS register with document status, approval history, and expiry dates - ready for safety inspections, internal audits, or client reporting.
