The practical difference

SDS means Safety Data Sheet. It is product safety information from the supplier or manufacturer. COSHH is UK terminology for controlling substances hazardous to health, often applied through task-specific assessments.

International teams may see SDS, COSHH assessments, chemical registers or substance-control forms depending on the region and project.

Keep product data and task controls linked

Whatever the local term, the workflow should connect the product record, task, exposure route, controls, briefing and evidence.

Terminology differs by region. Zektrx helps structure workflows around local document names, but users must check local legal requirements and competent advice.

Zektrx connects SDS Management Software, COSHH Software for Construction and International Contractor Software so records can be named locally while the workflow stays organised.
