Turn a scattered SDS drawer and a mystery chemical list into a controlled program you can hand OSHA in ten minutes.

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

The Problem

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.

What This Kit Does

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.

Chemical Control Index™ + SDS Gap Severity Grid™

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.

OSHA’s #1 most-cited standard in general industry.

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CFR 1910.1200) leads OSHA’s Top 10 Most-Cited Standards year after year — driven by written-program gaps, missing or outdated Safety Data Sheets, and unlabeled secondary containers.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.

  • $16,550 — Per Serious Violation: The maximum for a missing written HazCom program, an inaccessible SDS, or an unlabeled secondary container.
  • $165,514 — Per Willful or Repeat: The maximum where OSHA shows the employer knew and did nothing — or was cited for the same HazCom failure before.
  • #1 — OSHA Top-10 Rank: HazCom has held the #1 slot on OSHA’s Top 10 Most-Cited Standards list for over a decade, with 2,000+ citations issued annually.

What This Kit Gets You

One chemical inventory that matches the floor

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.

An SDS index that surfaces gaps before OSHA does

The SDS Gap Severity Grid™ ranks missing, outdated, or wrong-language SDSs by risk — so the shortlist to fix first is obvious.

A label audit that catches secondary containers

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.

HazCom training tied to the actual chemicals present

Training records reference the specific hazard classes in your inventory, not a generic PowerPoint. Employees can point to the SDS they were trained on.

Control Mechanisms

  • Chemical Control Index™ — Make every chemical in the building accountable — inventory, SDS, labeling, training, approval, and emergency response all tied to one control record.. The primary control tool. Scores whether each chemical is controlled end to end — not just whether it has an SDS somewhere.
  • SDS Gap Severity Grid™ — Fix the SDS binder in priority order instead of guessing which gap costs you first.. Ranks missing, outdated, or wrong-language SDSs by risk and citation exposure — so the shortlist to fix first is obvious.
  • Secondary Container Label Audit — Catch the citation OSHA writes most often — the unlabeled spray bottle in the maintenance shop.. Targets the (f)(6) secondary-container labeling gap: the #1 HazCom citation OSHA actually writes on the floor.
  • HazCom Training Certification — Prove training was tied to your actual chemical inventory — not a generic PowerPoint.. Training records reference the specific hazard classes in your inventory. Employees can point to the SDS they were trained on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an SDS for every chemical, even office cleaners?

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.

What counts as a "secondary container"?

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.

How current do SDSs need to be?

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.
