HazCom Pro Kit — Chemical Inventory, SDS, Labeling & Training Control
Built for facilities that need chemical inventory, SDS access, labeling, and training records they can produce the moment an inspector or an employee asks.
Applicable OSHA standard: 29 CFR 1910.1200
HazCom is the #1 cited standard in general industry — not because chemicals are rare, but because the paperwork trailing behind them almost never lines up. The inventory says one thing, the SDS binder says another, and half the labels are missing.
This kit builds a chemical program you can actually control: every chemical inventoried, every SDS current, every label verified, every employee trained, and every new chemical routed through an approval step before it comes in the door.
The Chemical Control Index™ scores whether each chemical is controlled end to end — inventory, SDS, labeling, training, approval, and emergency response. The SDS Gap Severity Grid™ ranks chemical and SDS problems by urgency so the facility knows exactly what to fix first when the list is long.
HazCom (29 CFR 1910.1200) leads OSHA’s Top 10 Most-Cited Standards year after year — driven by written-program gaps, missing or outdated Safety Data Sheets, and unlabeled secondary containers. Penalties for 2026 are frozen at 2025 levels, the highest in the agency’s history. Instance-by-instance citation policy means one chemical without a matching SDS can become one citation; ten unlabeled spray bottles in the maintenance shop can become ten separate citations.

The inventory, the SDS binder, and the containers on the shelf finally tell the same story. New chemicals are added through a documented approval step.
The SDS Gap Severity Grid™ ranks missing, outdated, or wrong-language SDSs by risk — so the shortlist to fix first is obvious.
The most common HazCom citation is not the missing manufacturer label — it’s the unlabeled spray bottle in the maintenance shop. The audit sheet targets exactly those.
Training records reference the specific hazard classes in your inventory, not a generic PowerPoint. Employees can point to the SDS they were trained on.
Every Citation-Proof Kit ships in three tiers. Pick the tier that matches how much of the build you want to do yourself and how quickly you need the physical binder in the supervisor’s hands.
Consumer products used in a way that matches consumer use are generally exempt — but the moment a product is used in higher frequency, larger quantity, or a different way than a consumer would use it, the exemption drops. Safer default: keep the SDS.
Any container the chemical was transferred INTO from the original manufacturer container — spray bottles, buckets, dispensers, dip tanks. Under 1910.1200(f)(6), these must be labeled unless the transferring employee uses the entire amount within their own shift.
There is no fixed shelf life, but if the manufacturer issues a new revision (usually because of a hazard reclassification or GHS update), the facility is expected to have the current sheet. The kit includes an SDS refresh cadence.
Citation-Proof Kit Series and Citation-Proof Score are GigLine trade names — not OSHA certifications. These kits support documentation and self-audit. They do not guarantee OSHA compliance, prevent citations, eliminate hazards, or replace the employer’s responsibility to maintain a safe workplace. Employers remain responsible for identifying applicable standards, correcting recognized hazards, training employees, and maintaining accurate records.
