SDS is one of the suite of UC Safety applications managed by UC Risk and Safety Solutions. The UC SDS database is powered by RightAnswer. To access the UC SDS database, go to ucsds.com (you will need to enter your UC Campus log-in credentials). You can search by chemical/product/manufacturer name and/or CAS#. For additional help with RightAnswer, use the "Help/Info" links on the left-hand side of the browser window. |
SDSs are an important source of health and safety information, but they should not be the only tool used to evaluate chemical hazards. Gather chemical hazard information from a variety of sources.
