The fragmented way
- A register spreadsheet with no live SDS link
- Assessment PDFs that do not show every location
- QR labels that open generic folders or stale files
- Review dates tracked by whoever remembers the system
Smart chemical safety for UK workplaces
Smarter chemical safety,
from register to sign-off.
Connect your chemical register, SDS library, storage locations, COSHH and DSEAR assessments in one platform. Optional AI assistance speeds up SDS transcription while your team controls review and sign-off.

One connected system
Stop managing the same chemical in four different places
Spreadsheets, SDS folders, assessment PDFs and storage labels drift apart. Safe Foundry gives each part of the chemical-safety record a shared source of context.
The Safe Foundry way
- One maintained chemical record with versioned SDS documents
- Locations and approximate quantities connected to the product
- COSHH and DSEAR work linked but kept distinct
- Review, sign-off and change status visible to the team
The platform
Four workflows. One chemical-safety record.
Start with the problem that matters today. The value compounds when the register, locations and assessments stay connected.
Connected lifecycle
A clearer path from supplier document to review
Safe Foundry carries confirmed information forward while keeping workplace decisions and competent-person review explicit.

Useful on site
Give every chemical and location a route back to context
Build a location tree that matches the workplace, assign chemicals with approximate quantities, and print labels for faster identification and review.
- Site-to-shelf location hierarchy
- Chemical and location QR label sheets
- Photographs and placement pins
- Deterministic advisory segregation screen
Related, not interchangeable
COSHH and DSEAR need distinct assessments
The same substance may create both health and physical-safety risks. Safe Foundry connects the records without collapsing the legal duties or the judgement involved.
COSHH
Focuses on risks to health: exposure routes, people at risk, control measures, PPE and emergency response for the actual task.
Explore COSHH assessmentsDSEAR
Focuses on safety risks from fire, explosion and metal corrosion: substances, area conditions, ignition sources, zoning and controls.
Explore DSEAR assessmentsSoftware supports the competent person. It does not replace them.
AI-assisted fields remain reviewable. Workplace context, control adequacy, hazardous-area decisions and sign-off stay with your team.
Human-confirmed data
Extracted SDS facts and imported information remain visible for review before they become trusted inputs.
Organisation access
Chemical records, documents, location photos and assessment exports remain within authorised organisation workflows.
Explicit limits
Approximate stock is not warehouse accounting, and advisory storage checks are not site approval.
Reviewable change
Status, due work and sign-off events help teams see what changed and what still needs attention.
Common questions
A practical place to start
What is COSHH?
COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. It is a UK regulation that requires employers to assess risks and control exposure to hazardous substances.
What is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?
An SDS is a standardised document that lists a substance's hazards, handling guidance, and safety measures. Safe Foundry reads SDS documents to build COSHH assessments.
How accurate are the AI-generated assessments?
Safe Foundry uses SDS source data and best-practice controls to draft assessments. Your team can review and edit before approval.
