In industries that rely on hazardous materials, maintaining accurate and up-to-date Safety Data Sheets (SDS) is essential. These documents support chemical evaluations, employee training, and regulatory preparedness. When SDS records are missing, outdated, or inconsistent across sites, compliance risks increase—especially during inspections, audits, or incident response.
The challenge is not expertise, but scale. Chemicals enter facilities through multiple channels, suppliers update SDS versions over time, and requirements extend across hazard communication, training, and reporting. Keeping records current, verified, and accessible across every location demands continuous coordination.
As a result, SDS management often becomes reactive. Teams spend hours searching for documents, validating versions, and answering compliance questions—diverting time from proactive safety and risk management efforts.
Making SDS Reviews Faster, Clearer, and More Consistent with Autonomous AI Agents
Traditional SDS management depends on manual collection, storage, and periodic review of documents. Teams compare versions, identify changes, and assess new hazards, often repeating the same work across multiple sites. This approach increases the risk of inconsistencies, missed updates, and limited visibility.
As a result, version discrepancies can go unnoticed, regulated substances may require additional review, and responding to compliance or audit questions often means time-consuming document searches.
Autonomous AI Agents streamline this process by continuously analyzing SDS documents within existing workflows. As files are added or updated, agents identify hazards and regulatory considerations and structure the information into clear, actionable insights—shifting SDS management from reactive review to ongoing operational support.

How Does Genny AI SDS Agent Work?
The Genny AI SDS Agent begins working as soon as SDS documents are introduced into the system. Built directly into Benchmark Gensuite’s SDS and chemical management workflows, it follows a structured, repeatable process:
-
Upload and analyze SDS documents
Safety Data Sheets are uploaded into the platform, where the Agent reviews them line by line to extract chemical data, hazards, safety measures, and risk mitigation information embedded in complex documentation.
-
Verify versions and detect changes
The Agent compares SDS versions to confirm accuracy, identify updates, and detect changes over time—supporting consistent version control and reducing the risk of outdated or incorrect records across sites.
-
Structure chemical information into clear summaries
Key details are organized into standardized chemical synopses that highlight hazards, precautions, and critical safety considerations, making SDS information easier to review and understand.
-
Identify regulated and high-risk substances
Chemical constituents are analyzed against relevant regulatory lists to flag substances that require closer review, supporting transparency and consistency in chemical compliance efforts.
-
Integrate insights into SDS workflows
Structured SDS information connects directly with the Benchmark Gensuite SDS System and related chemical management workflows, keeping records current, accessible, and aligned across the organization.
Changing Day-to-Day for EHS Leaders
By automating SDS review and verification, the Genny AI SDS Agent introduces a new kind of digital co-worker for EHS teams—one that continuously supports chemical safety management by handling document-heavy, repetitive work without removing people from the process.
Instead of spending time searching for SDS files, validating versions, or responding to compliance questions under pressure, teams gain consistent visibility into chemical hazards, safety measures, and documentation status across sites. This leads to fewer last-minute escalations, clearer oversight, and greater confidence during audits, inspections, and incident response.
Built to work alongside EHS professionals, the SDS Agent strengthens day-to-day operations while keeping judgment, accountability, and decision-making with the people responsible for protecting workers and ensuring compliance. With a reliable digital co-worker managing SDS complexity in the background, EHS leaders can focus more time on prevention, oversight, and continuous improvement.
