What the SDS provides and what your business must add
Check product identity, manufacturer and SDS revision against the product actually used at the workplace. Then record the work area, activity, amount and concentration.
An SDS includes classification, handling, exposure controls, first aid and disposal. It does not define your internal reporting procedures, installed protective equipment or emergency resources.
AI helps prepare the draft. Check its statements against the current SDS and risk assessment. Add workplace details in Word and resolve uncertainties before approval.
Registering a MeineGBU account is free. Creating your own document is paid; current coin costs are shown before creation. The example lets you inspect the output format before preparing your own instruction.
Frequently asked questions
What must an operating instruction contain?
Section 14 GefStoffV specifies substance and hazard information, protective measures, and responses to incidents and emergencies. TRGS 555 explains the structure, including work area and activity, first aid and disposal. The workplace risk assessment determines the specific content.
Is one operating instruction per substance group enough?
Group instructions may be suitable where hazards and protective measures are comparable. Check the risk assessment and TRGS 555 to determine whether a shared instruction covers the actual activities.
Who signs the operating instruction?
The employer or a designated responsible person (e.g. managing director, workshop manager, occupational safety specialist). The signature confirms the binding nature of the instruction.
