MSDSonline stores your SDSs. HazComFast makes them actually useful on the job site — offline, with GHS labels, and audit-proof documentation.
MSDSonline (now part of VelocityEHS) is one of the oldest SDS management platforms. While it has a massive chemical database, it was built for desktop-first corporate EHS departments — not for construction crews in the field. It requires internet connectivity, lacks built-in GHS label generation, and charges per-user fees that scale quickly.

Yes. Export your chemical list from MSDSonline and bulk-import into HazComFast. Most teams complete migration in under a day. You'll immediately gain offline access, GHS label generation, and automated OSHA defense documentation.
No. MSDSonline requires an internet connection to access SDSs. HazComFast caches all SDSs on-device using PWA technology, so your crew can access them in basements, tunnels, and rural sites with zero connectivity.
Yes. HazComFast starts at $49/month with unlimited users and no annual contract. MSDSonline charges per-user fees with annual contracts, which typically costs $200-500+/month for mid-size teams.
If you need a massive corporate SDS authoring platform, MSDSonline may fit. But for construction teams that need offline field access, GHS labels, and OSHA-ready audit docs — HazComFast delivers more value at a fraction of the cost.
