What's New

Regulatory Information
The "Regulatory Information" section keeps registered site users informed about new and existing legislative or regulatory actions that may affect our customer's industries. Listings typically provide a brief overview of each issue, with links to government or association Internet sites for additional information.

Reference Materials Library
BayCareOnline.com provides access to a wide variety of health, environment and safety reference materials for registered site users. "Reference Library" sections are organized by product group and include a link to download materials in electronic (PDF) format. Hard copy literature and electronic media can also be ordered through the site when supplies are available.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Access
Registered site users gain "instant" access to the latest Material Safety Data Sheets from Bayer. A powerful search feature permits users to locate MSDS by product code or trade name, then view and download each MSDS in electronic (PDF) format.

BayCare^SM Online Training Center
The BayCare^® Online Training Center provides a unique, customizable, online safety training environment for Bayer customers and their employees. Safe handling resources available through a company's personalized training campus are tailored to match the products purchased from Bayer. Safe handling assessments -- included on each training campus -- automatically evaluate employee knowledge of safe handling requirements and best industry practices, simplifying the administration and management of customer safety training programs.

BayCare Alert! E-Mail Messaging
BayCare Alert! e-mail messages are distributed periodically to inform registered site users about important health, environment and safety issues or developments that affect the industries we serve. BayCare Alert! e-mail messages can be quickly "machine translated" into Spanish, German, French and Portugese simply by clicking an icon imbedded in each message. Machine translations are not perfect, but often help plant managers communicate important information to non-English speaking employees in a more timely manner.

Site Search
The "Site Search" tool allows registered site users to quickly search the entire BayCare Online Resource Center for information of interest. A new sitemap feature available from the search screen can also help site users quickly locate the information they need.

Related Links
Registered site users can also take advantage of time saving "Related Links" available on the site. Links are provided for government, trade and environmental organizations, and—in many cases—include additional "drill down" links that take users directly to pertinent third-party information.
