Case Study: Wickenburg Community Hospital achieves streamlined HazCom compliance and instant SDS access with VelocityEHS Chemical Management

Wickenburg Community Hospital Modernizes HazCom Compliance

Wickenburg Community Hospital is a 19-bed critical access hospital in central Arizona with about 200 employees that had managed safety data sheets in paper binders for decades. By 2011 the hospital sought a digital HazCom solution to modernize SDS management, but faced the challenge of securing cross-department buy-in and funding because every unit relied on the binders and no single budget covered an upgrade.

The hospital implemented VelocityEHS Chemical Management, a cloud-based system with mobile access, an extensive SDS library, and tools for labeling, tracking and reporting chemicals. The result was immediate—staff gained instant right-to-know access, SDSs stay current without manual updates, time spent searching binders was eliminated, and employees across departments found the platform easy to use, improving compliance, inventory visibility and operational efficiency.
