13. Database Management Systems
The NIOSH Web site features many different types of databases and information resources.
The BLS also compiles statistical data regarding safety and health.

14. Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets
The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) (29 CFR (g)), revised in 2012, requires that the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or importer provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs or Material Safety Data Sheets) for each hazardous chemical to downstream users to communicate information on these hazards.
The information contained in the SDS is largely the same as the MSDS, except the SDSs are required to be presented in a consistent user-friendly, 16-section format.

15. Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets
The SDS includes information such as the properties of each chemical; the physical, health, and environmental health hazards; protective measures; and safety precautions for handling, storing, and transporting the chemical.
The information contained in the SDS must be in English (although it may be in other languages as well).
In addition, OSHA requires that SDS preparers provide specific minimum information as detailed in Appendix D of 29 CFR
The SDS preparers may also include additional information in various section(s).

16. Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets
Sections 1 through 8 contain general information about the chemical, identification, hazards, composition, safe handling practices, and emergency control measures (e.g., fire fighting).
This information should be helpful to those that need to get the information quickly.

17. Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets
Sections 9 through 11 and 16 contain other technical and scientific information, such as physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity information, toxicological information, exposure control information, and other information including the date of preparation or last revision.
The SDS must also state that no applicable information was found when the preparer does not find relevant information for any required element.

18. Hazard Communication Standard: Safety Data Sheets
The SDS must also contain Sections 12 through 15, to be consistent with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), but OSHA will not enforce the content of these sections because they concern matters handled by other agencies.

19. Globally Harmonized System
Modification of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform with the United Nations' (UN) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)

20. Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
Help maintenance workers do their jobs more effectively (for example, determining which storerooms contain the spare parts they need)
Help management make informed decisions (for example, calculating the cost of maintenance for each piece of equipment used by the organization, possibly leading to better allocation of resources)
The information may also be useful when dealing with third parties; if, for example, an organization is involved in a liability case, the data in a CMMS database can serve as evidence that proper safety maintenance has been performed.

21. Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS)

22. Computer Modeling
Behavior of physical phenomena, people, and other entities
The model accuracy depends on:
The availability of accurate data
The inclusion of factors that affect the phenomenon
Adequate representation in the mathematical manipulations

23. Examples of Computer Modeling
Accident reconstruction model
Biomechanical model
Air quality model
