Reprocessing Binders
In the future, if you find that your Safety Data Sheets are not going into your Binders, they may need to be reprocessed. Or, it may be best to get into a habit of regularly processing Binders to ensure the most up-to-date SDS version is included in the binder.
Click Process under the specific Binder.
You can rename the Binder version if desired. Click Process to proceed. Reprocessing this binder will obtain new versions of SDS's marked for binder inclusion and create a new version of your binder.
In addition to reprocessing the binder, if the SDS is not showing in the binder, please ensure the following:
1. An SDS is attached to the Product
2. Under the Safety Data Sheet section of the Product, the Include in Binder toggle is turned on.
2. Under Company Usage, a Location and Work Area is added and there is no end date listed.
