Dr Ken Kendall – Technical Director comments: “We
wanted to improve the procedure by which we created Material
Safety Data Sheets, mainly to ensure we keep current with
legislation changes. A web search led us to ChemSoft, and
a subsequent demonstration of their software at our premises
convinced us that theirs was the system we should adopt.”
IFS Chemicals Ltd have been running ChemSoft EH&S since
Autumn 2004 to produce their Safety Data Sheets, Labels and
Transport Emergency Cards.
Ken comments further: “The software allows us to output
high-quality Safety Data Sheets directly as .pdf format files,
giving added security to the information contained in these
documents.”
“Queries that have arisen have been answered well
by ChemSoft’s Technical Support Department, either
over the telephone or by e-mailed guidelines.”
“For an annual subscription we receive regular updates
to the system, reflecting changes to the legislation that
governs the creation of Safety Data Sheets. This handles
our original prime requirement, and frees staff internally
to concentrate on other issues.”
“We have been pleased with our decision to work with
ChemSoft. I would recommend that anyone who writes Safety
Data Sheets should contact ChemSoft for discussions and software
demonstration.”

HANDL Solutions
In March 2005 HANDL Solutions were appointed the exclusive
UK & Eire importer/distributor for No Skidding Products,
a Canadian company specialising in the manufacture and distribution
of anti-slip floor treatments and coatings for all floor
surfaces.
Recognising that the North American Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) provided by No Skidding did not comply with
UK and European regulatory requirements, Howard O’Brien,
the Managing Director from HANDL Solutions found the answer
to conformity through an introduction to the ChemSoft EH&S
Software system.
Howard comments: “Our Safety Data Sheets are now clearly
laid out and provide all the relevant safety and regulatory
information required to meet latest EU legislation. We receive
software updates in plenty of time to meet our obligations
and the customer support service is very helpful, efficient
and friendly.
“It is important to HANDL Solutions that we offer
excellence as a responsible supplier and well laid out, accurate
Safety Data Sheets are a major element of that”
“The ChemSoft software is straightforward to use and
flexible enough to allow us to format the reports to give
our clients accurate and up to date Safety Data Sheets. The
on-going software updates also ensure that we keep pace with
the latest regulations”.
HANDL Solutions have subsequently added the labelling module
to ensure that label data reflects the information contained
in their Safety Data Sheets.

Fiddes decided to integrate a Safety Data Sheet and Tremcard

order to automate the process of producing accurate Health
and Safety information. Fiddes have been running ChemSoft
EH&S since 2002.
Mark Collier – Office Manager at Fiddes comments: “We
decided to purchase the ChemSoft software to simplify the
way we produced our Health and Safety information. We wanted
a system that was easy to use, up to date with the regulations
and came with a good support package.”
“
We are very pleased with our choice of software supplier
and have found the software straightforward to use. The
IT and regulatory support team are always helpful and friendly,
and have answered all my questions quickly and accurately.”
“Software upgrades are available many weeks, sometimes
months prior to changes in legislation and are easy to install.
They always come with lots of information telling us what
has changed and how it affects us.”
“I would recommend ChemSoft to other businesses that
have a requirement to produce and manage Health and Safety
Documentation.
