What actually changes on the deadline

Your written HazCom program and workplace labels must reflect the updated GHS (Rev. 7) requirements.
Keep the most recent SDS your supplier has provided for each product, accessible to employees on every shift.
Employees must be trained on any new label elements and hazard information.

Each gap — a missing written program, a missing SDS, an unlabelled container, untrained staff — can be cited, and each citation can carry its own penalty (up to $16,550 for a serious violation, per OSHA’s penalties page, checked Oct 2026). SDSentry keeps your SDS binder current, generates the labels, and documents the training — flat-priced and unlimited, built for small and mid-size employers rather than enterprise EHS budgets.

Most SDS software stops at the safety data sheets. OSHA HazCom asks an employer for five things: a written program, a chemical list, container labels, SDS access and employee training. SDSentry covers all five in one product and builds the written program from your own chemical list. See how 11 SDS tools compare on all five →

Keep every SDS, GHS label and HazCom training record in one place — SDSentry’s OSHA deadline price is $24 per location a month, or $199 a year (regularly $49). Start by November 20, 2026 to lock it in.

Unlimited users and no SDS cap. On an annual plan that is less than any paid SDS tool we compared.
