A complete, OSHA-compliant written Hazard Communication Program covering chemical inventory, SDS management, GHS labeling requirements, employee training documentation, and emergency procedures. Ready for an OSHA inspection. PDF & Word formats.
The Hazard Communication standard has been OSHA's most frequently cited regulation for over a decade. Inspectors know exactly what to look for — and most small contractors don't have the documentation ready.
OSHA requires a written HazCom program that identifies the chemicals used at each location, names the responsible person, and describes how SDS information is communicated to workers. A generic template isn't enough — it has to match your actual jobsite.
OSHA expects you to have a written inventory of every hazardous chemical present on-site — product name, location, SDS reference. Without it, the inspector writes a serious violation. With it, you have a defense. Most GCs don't have one started.
Workers must have unobstructed access to Safety Data Sheets for every chemical they work with — during every shift. "The SDS binder is in the superintendent's truck" is a citation waiting to happen. OSHA enforcement guidance is clear on this one.
Training documentation is the first thing an inspector asks for when investigating a chemical exposure incident. Annual training sign-in sheets, trainer credentials, and topics covered — all must be documented. No records means the training didn't happen as far as OSHA is concerned.
Eight complete program sections covering all 1910.1200 requirements. Fill in your company info and chemical list. Done.
Complete program document with employer responsibilities, responsible person designation, written chemical identification procedures, and site-specific hazard communication activities. Pre-filled for construction contractor environments.
Writable chemical inventory table with product name, manufacturer, SDS location, quantity on-site, storage location, and hazard class columns. Pre-populated example entries for common construction chemicals.
Step-by-step procedures for obtaining, maintaining, and providing access to SDS for every hazardous chemical on-site. Includes SDS binder organization guide and digital access protocol for jobsite tablets.
Reference guide covering all 9 GHS pictograms, signal words (Danger vs. Warning), hazard statement formatting, precautionary statement requirements, and supplier identification standards. Works as a jobsite labeling checklist.
Annual training curriculum covering chemical hazard recognition, SDS interpretation, container labeling identification, PPE use by hazard class, emergency procedures, and reporting protocols. Meets initial and annual refresher requirements.
Documentation-ready sign-in sheets for new hire orientation and annual refresher training. Includes trainer name/credentials, date, topics covered, and employee acknowledgment signature lines. Ready for OSHA inspection file.
Chemical hazard assessment worksheet for non-routine tasks and chemicals not in the main inventory. Identifies exposure routes, required PPE, emergency procedures, and responsible person sign-off for each task.
First aid and medical referral procedures for chemical exposure scenarios: skin contact, eye splash, inhalation, and ingestion. Includes emergency contact procedure template, nearest medical facility coordination, and spill response protocol.
OSHA's Globally Harmonized System uses nine standardized hazard symbols. This template includes a full GHS reference chart your team can keep on the jobsite.
Carcinogens, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicity, respiratory sensitization, organ toxicity
Irritant, skin sensitizer, acute toxicity (harmful), narcotic effects, respiratory tract irritation
Acute toxicity (fatal or severe) — orally, dermally, or by inhalation at low doses
Skin corrosion, eye damage, metal corrosion — acids, alkalis, and caustic substances
Flammable gases, aerosols, and liquids; self-reactive substances; pyrophoric materials
Oxidizing gases, liquids, and solids — may cause or intensify fire on contact with organic materials
Gases under pressure — compressed, liquefied, or dissolved gas. Rupture hazard if heated.
Explosives, self-reactive substances, organic peroxides — explosion hazard from shock, friction, fire
Aquatic toxicity — hazardous to the aquatic environment. Do not release to water or drains.
Every provision covered in this template. Column-by-column reference for your compliance review.
