The Wercs Introduces Professional Services Company
Outsourced MSDS Authoring and Other Hazard Communication Services
Albany, New York The Wercs, Ltd., the global leader in Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) authoring software, today announced the formal launch of its professional services company. Wercs Professional Services, LLC (WPS) offers outsourced services that are dedicated to bringing efficient, affordable and customized hazard communication services to businesses of all sizes.
Based on 20 years of focused experience in hazard communication, WPS is positioned to serve as an extension to an environmental, health and safety (EH&S) department by providing the following core services:
MSDS Authoring
MSDS Rule Writing
MSDS Management
MSDS Translation
MSDS Software Hosting
MSDS Distribution
Increasingly, key EH&S resources are being reduced, asked to do more or eliminated all together, said Lou DeSorbo, founder and president of The Wercs. More often than not, these tactics expose an organization to undue risk. WPS bridges the gap between a company s business needs and the growing challenges in materials compliance through a powerful combination of skilled professionals taking advantage of a highly automated software solution. This translates into reduced costs associated with the creation of globally compliant, multi-lingual MSDSs and labels.
Central to the WPS is The WERCS software, one of the most proven hazard communication software solutions out on the market. WPS draws on specially trained and qualified chemists, toxicologists and global regulatory experts, certified in The WERCS software suite to meet customers authoring needs. All MSDSs are dynamically authored and updated on a quarterly basis to reflect regulatory changes.
Other WPS services include: product registrations, toxicology and chemical data evaluations, target organ reviews, global chemical inventory reviews, chemical substance notifications, hazard classification of chemical substances, raw materials and software application development.
Initial WPS customers include those companies confronted with the challenges associated with difficult regional requirements, reduction in staff and surges in MSDS output requirements due to mergers and acquisitions.
