Cloud-Based Hazardous Substance Manager GeSi4 Debuts as German Firms Seek Off-Site Safety Compliance
Veröffentlicht: 15.06.2026 um 13:36 Uhr, Redaktion boerse-global.de
German companies grappling with the logistics of hazard documentation can now turn to a fully browser-based solution. GeSi-Software GmbH will launch GeSi4 GefStoff-Profi in mid-June, offering the system both as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription and an on-premise installation. The move responds to rising demand for location-independent workplace safety tools.
At the core of the new platform sits SDBcheck technology, which processes safety data sheets automatically. The system creates a closed workflow from data import and maintenance of the hazardous substances register all the way through to generating legally compliant risk assessments. It supports established frameworks such as the Simple Measures Concept for Hazardous Substances (EMKG) and the STOP principle — substitution, technical, organisational and personal protective measures. Companies can produce legally sound instructions directly from the software.
Two generations of the product now coexist. The older GeSi³ GefStoff-Profi has been on the market for over a decade and remains available as a pure on-premise system aimed at existing customers and users with complex functional requirements. GeSi4, by contrast, prioritises browser-based work and modern IT infrastructures. Both editions comply with the REACH regulation and draw on the same data basis for safety data sheet imports. Industry experts note that the choice depends on a firm’s IT strategy and desired level of mobility. An early-access phase for the fourth-generation version started in mid-June.
Beyond software, hardware developments are addressing chemical spills. In June, Graz University of Technology presented a four-legged robot designed for chemical accidents: it measures pollutant concentrations in real time and streams live images from danger zones before emergency personnel need to enter. Field tests have confirmed its practical suitability.
Even with advanced robotics handling spills, a thorough COSHH risk assessment remains your first line of defence. A free toolkit gives you 43 ready-to-use templates and checklists to ensure every hazardous substance in your workplace is properly documented and compliant. Download the free COSHH Toolkit
Laboratory analysis is also seeing upgrades. Thermo Fisher Scientific announced a mid-June webinar on dioxin analysis using Orbitrap mass spectrometers, aiming to improve precision in food safety monitoring and pollutant surveillance.
Automation is spreading into adjacent administrative fields. SEEBURGER and TCG Process are jointly developing AI-supported account assignment in SAP systems. At a specialist event on 16 June 2026, they will demonstrate how booking proposals can cut processing times in financial administration by up to 80 percent. Additionally, the German Idea Management Report 2026 offered insights into modern approaches to process improvement, findings that are also relevant for advancing industrial safety concepts.
