OSHA Hazardous Material Regulations

Preparing a written plan helps ensure that your business is compliant and that all factors are considered. A written program requires employers to maintain a list of hazardous chemicals on a worksite and use identifiers.

Chemical manufacturers provide labels on shipped containers that lists the following information:

• Product identifier
• Signal word
• Pictograms
• Hazard statements
• Precautionary statements
• Name, address, and phone number

The employer is required to make sure that containers are labeled correctly in the workplace. You may use the same label from the supplier, but they all must include the identifier and general information regarding the chemicals’ hazardous properties.

SDSs are the primary source of detailed information on a particular hazardous chemical. Employers are required to maintain copies of SDSs and must request one if not provided by the supplier. All SDSs must be readily accessible in work areas, and supervisors should print copies if the supplier only offers electronic versions.

Train employees on the hazardous chemicals in their work area before working and when you introduce new hazards. Employees need to be made aware of the protective measures available during training sessions and who they should contact if an accident occurs.

Review your hazard communication program once a quarter to make sure it works and meets the necessary objectives. Review any processes that need changing and update your employees accordingly.

Storage regulations are an important part of OSHA’s chemical material guidelines. Here is a breakdown of the regulations that outline how to store hazardous substances:

OSHA’s chemical safety rules for large quantity storage require that specially constructed storage tanks and piping systems be used to comply with extensive guidelines.

You can store smaller quantities of flammable liquids in approved containers that comply with the following regulations:

• Up to one pint can be stored in a glass or approved plastic container
• Store one-gallon quantities in a metal container
• Two-gallon quantities should be stored in safety cans

Axiom understands that having the right tools is the first step in completing a project. That’s why we designed our ACCUPOUR line of measuring cups, pitchers, and containers to provide industry-leading accuracy and durability. Our innovative line of measuring products include:

Our ACCUPOUR chemical measuring pitchers provide reliable measurements and are designed with regular use in mind. Our unique handle allows for improved user comfort, and the open handle offers improved control. Some of the features of our pitchers include:

• Raised graduations that ensure accurate measurements
• Debossed black markings for simple reading
• Open-bottom handle that makes stacking easy in limited space
• Versatile spout that offers excellent pouring control

The chemical measuring containers manufactured by Axiom provide the same level of accuracy as our pitchers and allow for easy transport and storage of chemicals.

Our tip-and-pour containers are easy-to-use and made from high-density polyethylene plastic. These containers are easily filled by tipping the chamber and allow you to pour with confidence.

Axiom offers squeeze-and-pour measuring bottles that are secure enough for use anywhere without compromising accuracy. Just squeeze the bottle until the measuring chamber is filled and pour!

Remaining compliant with OSHA hazardous material guidelines requires the proper disposal of chemical containers. Our Jet Rinse Triple-Rinsing Nozzle is ideal for employers who need to rinse and dispose of containers efficiently. The triple-rinsing jet action removes up to 99% of residue in less than one minute, and the sharp point punctures metal and plastic containers. This process renders the containers unusable, which means OSHA chemical safety rules. The nozzle is small enough to fit in your hand and is easy to use, simply:

• Attach the Triple-Rinse Nozzle to any hose
• Remove the protective guard
• Puncture the chemical container
• Rinse the container for one minute
• Dispose of the chemical container

Our Jet Rinse Triple-Rinsing Nozzle is the fastest and most efficient way to meet compliance standards.
