Hazard Communication Program for every trade in Washington.
The Hazard Communication Program is the document Every trade in Washington submit most often and rewrite most often. Here it is generated from the project details in one pass.
What GCs in Washington 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 Washington, Washington DOSH is the enforcing agency. Where the state has its own requirement on this subject, the plan carries a Washington section that says so.
- DOSH enforces its own construction rules (WAC 296-155): a written Accident Prevention Program, weekly safety meetings, and fall protection at 4 feet.
- Washington's outdoor heat rule and wildfire smoke rule apply at set triggers with written procedures.
Reviewers check for named people with a basis, hazards matched to scope, and a signature page. All three are built in, written to 29 CFR 1910.1200(e) as applied to construction by 1926.59.
Nothing here is OSHA-approved, because nothing is. What you get is a plan that names the right people, matches the scope, and is signed by you.

Questions from Washington every sub
- Is a HazCom program required for a small subcontractor in Washington?
- Yes, for any employer whose workers use or are exposed to hazardous chemicals, which includes adhesives, solvents, fuels, and cement products. Washington runs its own state plan, enforced by Washington DOSH (Department of Labor & Industries), so the plan follows federal 1926 plus the state's additions.
- 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 Washington?
- Washington runs its own state plan, enforced by Washington DOSH (Department of Labor & Industries), so the plan follows federal 1926 plus the state's additions. Your plan is written for the project address, and where Washington 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.
