Abstract
Chemical risk factors are among the risk factors that can cause occupational accidents and occupational diseases in all workplaces. Recognizing the negative effects of these chemical risk factors and taking timely precautions are of great importance in eliminating the negative effects that employees may face. In order to increase the awareness of employees on the subject, information can be provided by placing the MSDS of the chemicals used in the workplace in the work area. Especially in workplaces where a wide variety of chemicals are used, there are some difficulties in placing these MSDS in the workplace. MSDS summaries can be used to overcome this situation. These MSDS summaries include the name of the chemical, hazard pictogram, hazard statements, precautionary statements and PPEs needed during the use of the chemical. With the MSDS summary for the relevant chemical, MSDS for chemicals in the workplace, which are often pages long, can be reduced to only A5 in size. In this study, a user‐friendly online software, called SDSSD by the authors and whose web address is https://sdssd.com.tr/, has been developed that can fulfill all the requirements mentioned above and can design MSDS summaries for chemicals that can be found in any workplace. MSDS summaries can be easily created with this online application. With the SDSSD online application, informative warning signs can be created for all hazard class chemicals in the workplace. MSDS summaries will enable workplaces to contribute to achieving zero risk for employees through these warning notices.
