Chemscape Wins Readers’ Choice Award for SDS Management, Introduces AI Assistant Rex

Chemscape has again been voted Best SDS Management Solutions in Canadian Occupational Safety’s Readers’ Choice Awards — a recognition its clients have handed the company for the past 10 years. Alongside the award, Chemscape announced a new feature, Rex, an AI regulatory assistant built directly into its platform.

A platform built to ease the resourcing squeeze

Environmental, health, and safety (EHS) teams across North America are being asked to do more with less, and that pressure isn’t new. Since Chemscape’s founding in 2003 by a Certified Industrial Hygienist, the company has focused on taming the volume of hazard information that SDS compliance demands.

That focus shaped CHAMP, Chemscape’s flagship platform — the Chemical Hazard Assessment and Management Program. CHAMP centralizes SDS collection, chemical approvals, risk assessment, and compliance tracking into a single workflow, giving Occupational Health and Safety teams the streamlined processes they need to make on-demand safety decisions with confidence.

Introducing an AI assistant grounded in real inventory data

This year, Chemscape is layering a new tool onto that foundation. Rex is designed for the specific problem understaffed EHS teams run into when regulatory questions pile up faster than they can be researched manually. Rex draws on the SDS data clients have already entrusted to Chemscape — so its answers are grounded in each organization’s actual chemical inventory.

Gary Toste, CEO of Chemscape Safety Technologies, connected the award to what Rex is meant to build on:

“Being voted Readers’ Choice by our clients, year after year, tells us we’re solving the right problems. Rex is the next step: it’s built on the SDS data our clients have already trusted us with, so the answers it gives are grounded in their real inventory. Backed by Chemscape’s support team and experts in Industrial Hygiene and Compliance, we look forward to working with our clients to innovate and solve their safety challenges together.”

A track record behind the recognition

Client feedback on Google Business and G2 has pointed to the same strengths reflected in the award: reviewers consistently cite CHAMP for keeping them current on regulatory change and for responsive account support.

The broader point for EHS leaders evaluating AI tools is a straightforward one: an AI assistant is only as reliable as the data underneath it. Chemscape’s approach has been to thoughtfully add an AI layer on top of two decades of disciplined SDS and compliance management — an approach that delivers accuracy grounded in a client’s own chemical reality.
