Why OSHA Requires HVAC Contractors to Maintain SDS Books
Under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom 2012, 29 CFR 1910.1200), HVAC technicians and their employers must maintain Safety Data Sheets for every hazardous chemical used on the job and make them accessible to employees at all times. HVAC crews regularly work with refrigerants, coil cleaners, brazing flux, lubricants, and sealants — all classified as hazardous under OSHA. A missing or outdated SDS book during an inspection can result in fines starting at $16,131 per violation.
