Velocity EHS Chemical Management is a District-wide database that contains folders for every department that uses chemicals. Users have access to view or print any department's chemical safety information for classes as a teaching tool or for the department's own use. Everyone using chemicals must know how to locate the Safety Data Sheets (SDS), formerly called MSDS, for each chemical.
To view all chemical safety data sheets, go to Velocity EHS Chemical Management - SDS.
