OSHA 1910.1200(e) requires a written hazard communication program at each workplace - not just a binder of safety data sheets. This guide covers the three mandatory contents, the chemical list rule that trips most programs, and the training obligation in paragraph (h). Includes a seven-step method for building the chemical list.

Every safety data sheet in the US carries the same 16 sections in the same order under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 - so an SDS is a map, not a document you read front to back. This guide shows which sections carry regulatory weight and which four OSHA does not enforce. Covers Section 2 hazards, Section 8 PPE, first aid and a worked example.
