Hazard Communication Program for every trade in Maine.
A GC in Portland wants a Hazard Communication Program that names this project, this crew, and this scope. That is what you get here, in Word and PDF, English and Spanish.
What GCs in Maine check for
It is on every GC checklist and is often the first thing an ISNetworld or Avetta audit asks for. The reviewer looks for a product inventory for this project, where the SDS binder is, who administers the program, and the training section.
In Maine, Federal OSHA is the enforcing agency. Where the state has its own requirement on this subject, the plan carries a Maine section that says so.
- Federal OSHA covers private construction; the Maine state plan covers public employers.
Every section a reviewer looks for is fixed and written against 29 CFR 1910.1200(e) as applied to construction by 1926.59; your answers fill in the project, the hazards, the controls, and the names.
Competent persons, the nearest hospital, the muster point, and the emergency chain are all in it, because those are the lines a reviewer checks first.

Questions from Maine every sub
- Is a HazCom program required for a small subcontractor in Maine?
- Yes, for any employer whose workers use or are exposed to hazardous chemicals, which includes adhesives, solvents, fuels, and cement products. Private construction in Maine is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (Augusta area office)); the state program covers public employers only.
- Do I need an SDS for every product?
- Yes, for every hazardous product you bring to the site, on site and reachable during the shift. The wizard pre-fills the usual products for your trade; you add yours and say where the binder is.
- Does a hazard communication program have to be state-specific in Maine?
- Private construction in Maine is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (Augusta area office)); the state program covers public employers only. Your plan is written for the project address, and where Maine has its own rule on the subject the plan says so and applies the stricter requirement.
- Is this OSHA-approved?
- No document is. OSHA and the state programs do not approve written plans; they inspect against them. This plan is prepared from your answers, says so on page one, and you adopt and implement it. That is what a GC's safety director is checking for.
- How long does it take?
- About 15 minutes of questions on your phone, then the documents generate in under two minutes. Word and PDF, English and Spanish, with your logo on the cover.
- What if the GC asks for changes?
- Edit your answers and regenerate as often as you like for 30 days at no charge. Every version stays downloadable. If it is not what you needed, reply to any of our emails within 30 days for a full refund.
