For builders and construction sites
An SDS register for builders and construction sites.
Sealants, form oil, adhesives, solvents, primers: chemicals arrive on a job with every trade and move on when the job does. Where they're hazardous, workers need the current SDS within reach. SupplySafe gives each job its own register and QR poster, so anyone on site can read every current SDS on their phone, no login.
Built for sites that keep changing
-
A register for each job
Give your yard and each job where you keep chemicals its own site, register and poster.
-
Areas that match the job
Name areas the way you work: site shed, chemical store, level 3. The register shows where each product is kept.
-
Starting a new job? Copy a register
Copy a site's register to the new site in one step, then add or remove what's different.
-
Every job on one page
Owners and admins see all sites together, including what needs attention, expired or missing SDS, and which backup folders need reprinting.
-
Kept current for you
When a manufacturer revises an SDS, your registers switch to the new one automatically and mark it as updated, so you can tell the crew what changed.
-
A printed backup folder in one click
The register list and every current SDS, ready for the site shed. "Reprint needed" tells you when an SDS changes.
One poster for each job
Print one A4 poster and put it inside the site shed or on the chemical store door, out of the weather. Your crew, a visiting subbie or emergency services scan it and see the site's products, where they're kept and the current SDS. No login, no app.
The scan needs mobile data or wifi. Basements and remote jobs can be patchy, so keep the printed folder on site. Signed-in staff can also keep the register's SDS on their phone for reading with no signal.
What the rules say on a building site
The model WHS Regulations ask a business to keep a register of the hazardous chemicals used, handled or stored at its workplace, with the current SDS for each, kept up to date and readily accessible to workers and emergency services.
Under the model regulations, a construction project is one where the construction work costs $250,000 or more, and it must have a principal contractor, who prepares a written WHS management plan before the project starts. Safe Work Australia's model Code of Practice says that plan may include information on providing and maintaining a hazardous chemicals register, SDS and chemical storage, so agree early who keeps what. Its example emergency procedures also include information about hazardous chemicals on site.
Rules differ by state. A model Code of Practice only has legal effect where a state or territory has approved it. Victoria runs its own OHS laws: WorkSafe Victoria says employers using or storing dangerous goods or hazardous substances must obtain an up-to-date SDS for each, and give employees, contractors and emergency services personnel access to it. See our Victorian register guide, and check with your regulator.
SupplySafe gives you the register, the access and the currency. It does not decide which of your products are hazardous, it does not write WHS management plans or SWMS, and it is not a substitute for a risk assessment or professional safety advice.

Questions builders ask
- What counts as a site for a builder?
- A site is any place you keep a register and put up a poster. That might be your yard or store, and each job where you keep chemicals. Each active site is A$39 a month, and there's no per-user fee.
- What happens to the register when a job finishes?
- Archive the site. The confirm step shows what that does to your bill before you go ahead. Fees are paid in advance, so there's no refund for a period that has already started.
- Does every worker or subbie need an account to read an SDS?
- No. Anyone can scan the poster and read every current SDS for that site, with no login and no app. Only the people who add or change products need an account.
- Will SupplySafe collect SDS from our subcontractors?
- No. It doesn't chase subcontractors or collect their chemicals for you. Agree who lists what, then whoever runs the register ticks those products or sends us any missing PDFs. A subcontractor with their own SupplySafe register can share its no-login link with you.
- A product we use isn't in the catalogue. What then?
- Send us the PDF from your folder (hello@supplysafe.com.au) and we load it and keep it current.
- What does SupplySafe cost?
- A$39 per site per month, or A$390 per site per year (two months free). No per-user fee: everyone on site can read the register. A 30-day free trial with no card needed, and you can cancel any time. Founding price: A$29 a month per site for your first 12 paid months. First 100 workplaces, start your plan by 31 March 2027. Paying yearly, it is A$290 a year per site for your first year. Manufacturers, importers and suppliers use SupplySafe free. See pricing.
- Do we still need printed SDS?
- Safe Work Australia's guidance says the register and SDS can be kept electronically, as long as workers and emergency services can get to them readily. It also suggests a backup, such as hard copies, in case power, internet or phones fail. So we recommend a printed backup folder alongside your SupplySafe register. SupplySafe makes it in one click and shows "Reprint needed" when an SDS changes. The final call is the business's.
- We already keep a register. How do we move across?
- Search the catalogue and tick what you hold; you can add every result of a search at once. There's no self-serve spreadsheet import yet, so send your current register to hello@supplysafe.com.au and we'll help load it. A product isn't listed? Send us the PDF from your folder (hello@supplysafe.com.au) and we load it and keep it current.
- Who keeps the SDS up to date?
- The company that issues it. Manufacturers and importers publish their current SDS on SupplySafe, free, and each one is checked against the PDF before it goes live. When they publish a revision, every register that holds the product switches to it automatically and marks the line as updated, so you can tell your team what changed. An SDS we load for you from your folder, we keep current too. SupplySafe never writes or edits an SDS.
