JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON - (Aug. 21, 2025) – Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Nimsi Hernandez, of Lancaster, Calif., assigned to Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) San Antonio, utilizes a computer tablet to search for a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) at the Battlefield Health and Trauma Research Institute. NAMRU San Antonio recently procured a digital SDS database system for use on non-networked computer tablets to replace all physical SDS binders. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication standard 1910.1200 requires SDSs to be readily accessible during each work shift for all hazardous chemicals in the workplace. NAMRU San Antonio, part of Navy Medicine Research & Development (NMR&D), conducts gap-driven combat casualty care, craniofacial, and directed energy research in support of Navy, Marine Corps and joint U.S. warfighter health readiness and lethality while engaged in routine and expeditionary operations.
