...and what happens if there is a power failure or the internet is down?
I've stuck with paper copies and also save the pdf to a shared folder. Don't get me started on that on-line system, I'll start ranting :-x

The SAM believes people will use their mobile phones too look it up, so the power won't be a problem. Internet on the other hand... I would assume in such an emergency that a teacher would use they're own credit to look up the SDS on their own data if there was a need.

Don't forget that Telstra had some issues last year where parts of Sydney were without internet coverage. I know it is extreme, but should be considered.

Plus depending on your phone, some files won't download properly or at all. That's why we stick to paper copies as well, although I do have them electronically and provide links on our register.
