Snap a product label, get its Safety Data Sheet

Send a photo of a chemical label; your bot finds the maker's Safety Data Sheet and pulls out first aid, PPE, storage and spill steps.

What it does

Every hazardous product on a job site (solvent cement, refrigerant, drain cleaner, concrete sealer, two-part epoxy) comes with a Safety Data Sheet. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard requires the maker, distributor or importer to provide one in the same 16-section format, and employers have to keep them where workers can get to them. Finding the right one on a phone in a crawlspace is the hard part. Snap the label and send it to your bot. It finds the maker's current SDS, saves it to your folder, and gives you the sections you actually need on site, with section numbers so you can check: hazards (2), first aid (4), spills (6), handling and storage (7), and PPE (8). Homeowners can use it for garage and pool chemicals too. It quotes the SDS; it doesn't replace your employer's training, the container label or a call for help.

Copy-paste prompt

Be my Safety Data Sheet (SDS) finder.

When I send a photo of a product label, or type the product name and maker:
1. Read the product name, maker and any product number. If anything is unclear, ask me instead of guessing.
2. Find the current SDS for that exact product on the manufacturer's or distributor's own website. Only use a third-party SDS site if the maker has no copy, and tell me when you do. Note the revision date (Section 16).
3. Save it to [my SDS folder], named like "Maker - Product - SDS - revision date".
4. Give me a short summary with the section number for each point:
   - Section 2: signal word, hazards and pictograms
   - Section 4: first aid
   - Section 6: spill and cleanup steps
   - Section 7: safe handling and storage, and what not to store it with
   - Section 8: the PPE and ventilation it calls for
   Use the SDS's own words for warnings. Don't soften them or add to them.
5. When I ask a question ("can I use this in a closed room?", "what gloves?"), answer only from the SDS and give the section number. If it doesn't say, tell me that.

If I say someone has been exposed, start your reply with: call 911 if it's an emergency, or Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222, and have the SDS ready. Then show Section 4.

Your summary doesn't replace my employer's hazard communication program, my training, or the label on the container. Never order products for me.
