VelocityEHS Wins Environmental Leader Project of the Year Award for its MSDSonline Hurricane Relief Efforts
Summary
The project was recognized for the free MSDSonline safety data sheet (SDS) access it provided to organizations, emergency responders and local businesses affected by Hurricane Harvey.In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck the U.S. Gulf Coast region, an area home to nearly a quarter of the nation’s oil refining capacity and half of its chemical manufacturing facilities.The company responded by building and releasing a custom version of its MSDSonline platform specifically for those affected by the storm, making it possible for them to access its database of critical chemical safety information for free.As a result, we were able to provide hundreds of safety data sheet documents that may have otherwise been unattainable to affected companies and first responders, helping to keep them and their communities safe,” said Michael Flynn, vice president of product development at VelocityEHS .Its comprehensive software platform and innovative mobile applications, including its award-winning MSDSonline chemical inventory management solutions, aim to make enterprise-level EHS functionality accessible and affordable to businesses of all sizes, helping them solve complex compliance and regulatory challenges in simple ways.
