Identify Chemical Hazards
CHAMP draws hazard information from the current SDS for every product in your inventory, so assessments start from accurate, up-to-date data.
Chemical Risk Management Built on Your SDS Library
Safety data sheets tell you what a chemical can do. CHAMP helps you understand what it will do in your workplace — by evaluating each product against the task, quantity, frequency, and controls already in place, then recommending what to do next.

What Is CHAMP?
CHAMP (Chemical Hazard Assessment and Management Program) is a chemical management platform from Chemscape Safety Technologies. It combines SDS management with structured chemical approvals, task-based risk assessments, control recommendations, and safer-substitution tools, with implementation support from a Certified Industrial Hygienist.
Where SDS management keeps hazard information current and accessible, CHAMP turns that information into decisions: whether a product should be approved for a task, what the exposure risk is, and which controls reduce it.
A Four-Step Approach to Chemical Risk
Assess the Risk
EHS teams enter how the product is used — the task, amount, frequency, and existing workplace controls. CHAMP combines these inputs with SDS hazard data to calculate a consistent risk rating.
Implement Controls
CHAMP recommends controls following the hierarchy of controls: eliminate, substitute, apply engineering controls, apply administrative controls, and use PPE, including respiratory protection.
Communicate the Risk
Approval decisions, labels, and SmartChart posters put control measures in front of the workers who handle the product.
Step 3, in detail
Controls Ranked by the Hierarchy of Controls
CHAMP recommends controls following the hierarchy of controls: eliminate, substitute, apply engineering controls, apply administrative controls, and use PPE, including respiratory protection.
Most effective
- Elimination
- Substitution
- Engineering controls
- Administrative controls
- PPE
Where SDS Access Alone Falls Short
Incomplete Chemical Inventories
CHAMP maintains a centralized inventory so you can see what chemicals are on site, where they are, and what hazards they carry.
Inconsistent Approval Decisions
Configurable approval workflows apply the same criteria to every new product request, across every site, with health, safety, and environmental reviewers involved where needed.
Changing Regulatory Obligations
During approval, each product is screened against relevant health and environmental regulatory lists to flag potential obligations before the product arrives on site.
Subjective Risk Assessments
A structured method that accounts for hazards, quantities, task frequency, and existing controls produces assessments that are consistent and defensible.
What's Included in CHAMP
How CHAMP Relates to mSDS Source
mSDS Source and Chemscape are sister companies under Quadshift Inc. mSDS Source focuses on SDS access and management for US workplaces. CHAMP, developed and supported by Chemscape, is built for organizations that also need to control chemical risk: approving products before they reach the floor, assessing exposure for specific tasks, and documenting the controls that protect workers.
CHAMP offers CNRL a defensible position for decisions on chemicals. Highly customizable to our processes. Incredible customer service and responsiveness.
Sr. Industrial Hygienist, CNRL
If your team is spending time on manual chemical approvals, inconsistent risk assessments, or spreadsheet-based inventories, CHAMP may be the next step.

What Is CHAMP?
CHAMP (Chemical Hazard Assessment and Management Program) is a chemical management platform developed by Chemscape Safety Technologies. It combines SDS management with structured chemical approvals, task-based risk assessments, control recommendations, safer-substitution tools, and industrial hygiene support.
How Is CHAMP Different from SDS Management Software?
SDS management software keeps safety data sheets current and accessible to workers. CHAMP builds on that foundation by evaluating how each chemical is actually used — the task, quantity, frequency, and existing controls — so EHS teams can approve products consistently, assess exposure risk, and select appropriate controls.
Who Makes CHAMP, and How Is It Related to mSDS Source?
CHAMP is developed and supported by Chemscape Safety Technologies Inc. Chemscape and mSDS Source are both Quadshift companies. mSDS Source presents CHAMP for organizations whose needs extend beyond SDS access into chemical risk management.
Does CHAMP Help with OSHA Hazard Communication Compliance?
CHAMP is built on Chemscape's SDS management service, which supports the SDS accessibility requirements of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). Its labels and SmartChart posters also support workplace hazard communication. Employers remain responsible for their full HazCom program, including the written program and employee training.
Does CHAMP Follow the Hierarchy of Controls?
Yes. CHAMP's control recommendations are organized around the hierarchy of controls: elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Is Industrial Hygiene Expertise Included?
CHAMP implementation includes support from a Certified Industrial Hygienist. Ongoing product stewardship and consulting services are also available from Chemscape.
