A quick look at AI-powered SDS parsing, the compliance engine, and bilingual QR access for workers.

What does SDS Pro do?

SDS Pro is SafetyNet's chemical safety platform, built by EHS professionals for EHS professionals. It uses Gemini AI to parse any safety data sheet in seconds, watches OSHA HazCom, EPA, EPCRA Tier II, and RCRA rules in the background, prints compliant GHS labels, guides spill response, and delivers bilingual SDS access to workers by QR code — no app install.

How does SDS Pro get an SDS to the floor?

SDS Pro parses each sheet once, organizes it by site and storage area, then puts it in every worker's pocket — in English or Spanish, with no app to install. The four steps below take a new SDS from upload to scannable in minutes.

When should you choose SDS Pro instead of Atlas?

Choose SDS Pro when chemical safety is the priority — HazCom, SDS management, GHS labeling, RCRA waste, and spill response. Atlas covers chemicals as one module inside a broader EHS platform, while SDS Pro goes deeper with AI SDS parsing, a geospatial chemical map, and bilingual QR posters. Many teams run SDS Pro alongside Atlas so chemical safety sits in the same program as the rest of their compliance.
