What Our Clients
Are Saying

Safety is about being prepared and proactive, not being reactive. We take pride in helping our partners across North America maintain the highest standards of regulatory compliance. Here are some instances where we’ve helped our clients navigate the complexities of hazardous materials with confidence.

At Galatea we help energy producers digitalize regulatory and TDG documents.

C. H., CEO Galatea Technologies
Just thought I would say thank you for all the years of hard work, dedication and expertise you bring to the industry regarding hazardous materials. Particularly customer service, ongoing training and liaison with agencies, whenever disposal is required to comply, not only with “Best Practices” but Regulatory and Legislative requirements in Canada as well as the U.S. Like many industries, we are registered as “Generators” of waste on rare occasions, so minimizing cost is essential to the bottom line in business. Increased inspections, penalties and fines by Regulators in Canada and U.S. sets a precedence for the need of training and documentation. This has made a Positive outcome with our corporation, thanks to Global. Your ongoing services are greatly appreciated.

What is involved in the SDS authoring process?

Our experts analyze your product’s chemical composition, physical properties, and toxicological data against current GHS, WHMIS, and OSHA standards. We draft a fully compliant 16-section Safety Data Sheet complete with accurate hazard classifications, GHS pictograms, signal words, mandatory hazard/precautionary statements, exposure controls, and dangerous goods transport classifications.

Yes. We author dual-compliant SDSs tailored to meet Canadian WHMIS requirements (including mandatory bilingual English/French formatting) and U.S. OSHA Hazard Communication (29 CFR 1910.1200) standards, ensuring your products move seamlessly across North American borders.

We evaluate raw material data, flash points, pH levels, toxicity metrics, and state of matter against Transport Canada (TDG), U.S. DOT (49 CFR), IATA (Air), and IMDG (Marine) criteria. We assign the proper Shipping Name, UN/NA Number, Primary and Subsidiary Hazard Classes, and Packing Group to ensure compliant shipping documentation and packaging.

An SDS must be updated whenever significant new hazard information becomes available, when product formulations change, or when regional regulations adopt updated GHS revisions. Regular catalog reviews ensure your SDS inventory remains current, legally compliant, and audit-ready.

Yes. Products manufactured overseas often carry safety sheets that do not align with North American WHMIS or OSHA GHS standards. We review international documentation, verify chemical classifications, and re-author compliant SDSs and workplace/shipping labels tailored for the North American market.

Regulations governing hazardous materials and chemical safety are constantly updated. We monitor regulatory bodies year-round and provide proactive compliance advisories, helping you update internal plans, product classifications, and employee training programs before new rules take effect.

Yes. We support multi-modal international supply chains by ensuring full regulatory alignment across road (TDG / 49 CFR), air (IATA / ICAO), and marine (IMDG Code) transport frameworks. We ensure your cross-border and international shipments are fully compliant with origin, transit, and destination requirements.
