Case Study: Compass Health achieves faster SDS access and compliance with VelocityEHS Chemical Management

Medical Device Manufacturer Commits to Continuous Improvement with VelocityEHS

Compass Health, a Sioux Falls–based manufacturer of home healthcare devices (beds, CPAP machines, canes and crutches) with about 100 employees, faced a compliance challenge: safety data sheets were maintained in physical binders, making right-to-know access slow and audit-vulnerable. A third‑party audit highlighted the need for better SDS access and updates, prompting Plant Manager Bill Christman to seek a digital solution.

Compass Health implemented VelocityEHS Chemical Management, migrating a library of roughly 400 chemicals into an eBinder with auto-updates and mobile access. The system accommodated their unique chemicals, cut the time safety staff spent manually updating SDSs, improved compliance and peace of mind, and set the company up to add container tracking and inventory management next.
