Why Sym2dut?
Sym2dut is the most evolved Hazardous Material Management System on the market today. Here are 22 reasons that prove it:

  Fully Bilingual Operation

The software runs in English and French simultaneously. At any given moment, users can switch language with the simple click of a mouse.

  Client/Server or Individual Users Wanted!

A simple technology based on a FileMaker database that works equally well for lone-users or teams.

  Simplified User-Sheets in Easy-to-Follow Format

You may add NFPA codes, EPI identification, comments, emergency numbers, your company logo and legal info to your Data Sheet Summaries, in addition to the 9 required sections pertaining to regulations.

  Custom-Made User-Sheets

Several parts of the Data Sheet Summaries may be customised to suit your company's emergency procedures, waste-disposal methods, storage requirements, handling instructions, extinguishing procedures and numerous other aspects.

  Speedy Data-Processing Using Key-Phrases

MSDS Data-Capture is carried out almost entirely through an ingenious key-phrase method. This is completed simultaneously in both languages with minimal use of the keyboard.

  Printing your Data Sheet Summaries

Two Data Sheet Summary formats are available (one-page or two-page formats) in both languages and in a choice of colour or grey ink.

  Label Printing

An astonishing array of possibilities: 6 formats and 3 label-types give you a choice of 15 different permutations in each language.

  Thoroughly Detailled Labels

In addition to mentioning risks, precautionary measures and first-aid procedures, each and every label includes WHMIS pictograms, the NFPA code and Personal Protection Equipment codes (also illustrated through pictograms).

  Custom-Made Labels

Print out customised labels using images imported from other software programs. Such labels may be printed on all six formats of Maerix label-sheets.

  Logo Integration

Your company logo may be displayed on any sheets and/or labels you desire.

  Protection Equipment Registry

Sym2dut comes with a database to help you keep track of the Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) inventory on-hand.

  Advanced PPE Identification

Protection equipment is coded and such codes can be found both on labels and sheets, accompanied by pictograms to facilitate fast identification of equipment to be used in the workplace.

  Renewal of Expired MSDS Sheets

Updating Data Sheets is mere child's play with Maerix. A symbol pops-up on-screen when an original Data Sheet is reaching expiry. The software program can draw up a letter addressed to the supplier requesting an up-dated version.

  Data Export

Certain reports may be exported to various other programs such as Excel, among others.

  Scanning

Your supplier's original MSDS can be scanned and attached to your user-sheet copies for easy reference, as well as being shown on-screen or stored for future re-prints.

  Product Categories

Colour coding allows you to create up to four different product categories in-house.

  Data Sheet Distribution via Sym2dutWeb

The optional Sym2dutWeb module provides every computer in your network with access to MSDS sheets using a simple web-browser. This includes Original MSDS, user-sheets, protection equipment, pictograms and label info.

  WHMIS Regulation "Reminders"

Several regulations are explained and illustrated on-screen as "reminders" to jog your memory when in doubt.

  Secure Access

The software can be accessed on two security levels via passwords: capture mode allows full access while consultation mode does not allow any modification or entry of data.

  NPRI Reports

The Sym2dut software carries out all necessary calculations to generate your next National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) Report for Environment Canada.

  Search Mode

Conduct advanced searches in up to 122 fields. Any combination is possible. Use multi-criteria and multi-request searches to find any information you need on anything at all.

  Product Locations

Sym2dut can tell you where a product is located, which department uses it and create files specific to each sector of the company.
