OSHA requires a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for every chemical in your shop — and proof that each worker was trained on the ones they use. Keep it all in one place, so if OSHA or your insurer ever asks, your binder is ready.
| Chemical | Brand | Hazard | Location | SDS |

| Worker | Chemical / topic | Trained by | Date |

This tracker is a record-keeping aid, not legal advice or a guarantee of OSHA compliance. Follow the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and your state's requirements.
Paperwork keeps you out of trouble; answered calls keep you in business. We set up missed-call text-back for your shop so nothing rings out into nothing.

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is the manufacturer's document listing a chemical's hazards, handling, and first-aid info. Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, any business with hazardous chemicals — which includes most detailing products — must keep an SDS for each one, accessible to employees. This tool tracks your chemical list and where each SDS is.
The main ones: keep an SDS for every hazardous chemical, maintain a chemical inventory, label containers properly, and train employees on the hazards and safe handling (Hazard Communication). You also need appropriate PPE and general workplace safety. An organized SDS inventory is usually the first thing an inspector or insurer asks for.
They're free from the manufacturer — usually downloadable from the product's page on the maker's website, or by request. Save a copy for each chemical you use and log its location in this tracker so employees can reach any sheet quickly in an emergency.
Whenever you add a new chemical, change products, or a manufacturer issues an updated sheet. Review the inventory periodically (many shops do it annually) and remove products you no longer use. Log employee training dates too — this tracker keeps the inventory, SDS locations, and training records in one place.
