Workplace instruction cards: clear safety guidance where the work happens
A workplace instruction card brings the right safety information to the people working with the product: hazards, protective equipment and first aid at a glance. With Chemspark you create them easily, post them at the workstation, and your team opens them via a QR code.

What is a workplace instruction card?
A workplace instruction card is a short, clear card posted at the workstation that shows, per product, what a worker needs to know: the main hazards, the required personal protective equipment, how to work with it safely and what to do in an incident. It is the last link between your risk assessment and the shop floor, and often the first thing a labour inspector asks to see. In the Netherlands these are called werkplekinstructiekaarten (WIK).
From SDS to workstation
How Chemspark makes workplace instruction cards work on the shop floor:
Ready to check and post
Chemspark prepares a formatted card per product, filled from the SDS. You check it, adjust what's needed and print it.
QR code for any phone
Your team scans the QR code and views the card straight away on their own phone.
Dutch, English or both
Choose Dutch, English or both side by side for each card, so colleagues who speak another language understand the instructions too.
Everything at a glance
Hazards, protective equipment, first aid and safe handling, clearly together.
With your own measures
The card includes the measures you recorded in the risk assessment, next to the data from the SDS.
See when a card is out of date
When a new SDS comes in, the card is flagged 'Workplace card out of date', so you know which card to post again.
Why workplace instruction cards matter
Occupational health law expects workers to be informed about the hazards of the substances they work with. A risk assessment in a system only helps once that information actually reaches the shop floor. Workplace instruction cards turn your assessment into clear instructions where the work happens, in Dutch, English or both.
