The Risky Business SOS database can also manage external contacts such as suppliers. This window allows users quick access to suppliers of equipment and hazardous substances. The Supplier browser window is accessible from the Administration > Suppliers menu item.

Each supplier can also be linked to the hazardous substances that they provide. This is possible when editing chemicals in the Substance Library where a tab is available with a checkbox next to each known supplier. Suppliers can be edited and created in the External Contact window at the Administration > Users menu item, at the External Contacts tab.
