Assess chemical risk with intelligent automation

Why it is important to innovate this process

Chemical risk assessment is one of the pillars of HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) management and a mandatory step to ensure the safety of workers handling hazardous substances. However, it is also one of the most complex processes, prone to errors and difficult to standardize when carried out manually.

Traditionally, everything starts with reading Safety Data Sheets (SDS)—essential documents that are often lengthy, heterogeneous, and frequently updated. Correctly extracting H-statements, HP hazard classes, and physico-chemical data requires time, attention, and specialized skills.

Today, thanks to advanced tools such as HSE Genius, this phase can be fully automated, improving data accuracy and significantly reducing analysis times.

Automatic SDS analysis as a turning point

HSE Genius uses an artificial intelligence engine to automatically analyze safety data sheets and transform the information into structured data that can be used for chemical risk assessment.

Specifically, the system can:

• Detect and organize H-statements contained in the document

• Extract data on the concentrations of hazardous substances

• Identify properties such as flammability, corrosivity, toxicity

• Link extracted data to official ECHA regulatory references

This process takes place without manual intervention, drastically reducing transcription errors and accelerating assessment and control activities.

A solid foundation for risk assessment

Once the data is digitized, it can be used to calculate HP hazard classes and be integrated into risk assessment software or company document management systems.

HSE Genius also allows you to:

• Verify the presence of harmonized classification for each substance

• Detect any inconsistencies between supplier-provided information

• Archive SDS versions and manage updates with full traceability
