SDS Manual & Written HazCom Program for Propane Companies

Keep the safety paperwork from becoming another job. We write your SDS manual and written HazCom program for your operation, gather the safety data sheets, then print and mail the finished manual to you.

Get the manual and written program together, so you are better prepared for an inspection or an insurance loss-control review without the last-minute paperwork scramble.

One intake form, about an hour. We do the writing and the printing.

The HazCom update dates

Under federal OSHA, for covered employers, the substance update date is November 20, 2026. The mixture update date is May 19, 2028. These are updates as necessary for newly identified hazards, not a requirement to replace every existing program.

Check each supplier's current SDS and the chemical classification. Employers must update workplace labels, the written program and employee training as necessary for newly identified hazards. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard sets the requirements and dates.

We do the writing and gather the sheets around the chemicals you identify on the intake form. Your operation still has to put the program into practice, keep sheets accessible and train employees.

OSHA updated the Hazard Communication Standard in 2024. The substance date was extended four months by the January 2026 amendment (91 FR 1696).

What you get

  • A full SDS manual for the chemicals your operation identifies — the plant, shop and trucks — with the safety data sheets gathered into one manual.
  • A written HazCom program naming who owns it, how sheets get added when you buy something new, how containers get labeled, and how employees are trained.
  • Employee training documentation pages, so the training you do is the training you can prove.
  • A non-routine task section addressing the chemical hazards of work outside the routine.

We write the manual to current code requirements for the operation you describe. Printed clean, sharp and professional, with a table of contents, a heavy cover close to cardstock, and three-hole punching. We mail the manual to you binder-ready. You provide the three-ring binder. We do the heavy work of getting you the most up-to-date, accurate manual. That helps you prepare for the paperwork side of inspections and insurance reviews; a manual alone does not guarantee compliance or prevent a fine.

How this actually goes

  1. You get one intake form. What you stock, where, who handles it, how you train.
  2. You spend about an hour on it. Owner or safety man. No site visit.
  3. We write your full manual and program for your operation and gather the safety data sheets. Ask Bill or Ken about the production and mailing schedule.
  4. We print and mail your manual binder-ready, with the written program and labeling plan for your operation.

Include the chemicals beyond propane

The chemical inventory needs to reflect what your employees actually handle, not just the propane you sell.

If you odorize on site or keep odorant in stock, include it in the chemical inventory and gather its current safety data sheet. Do the same for other hazardous chemicals your employees handle.

Same for the shop solvents, the parts washers, the cylinder-refurb chemicals, and whatever the service techs keep in the back of the truck.

Straight answers

How much of my time?
About an hour, on one form.

How fast?
Ask Bill or Ken about the production and mailing schedule.

I have a binder already.
Send it. We will tell you what is missing and whether it needs a rebuild or a refresh.

Is the binder enough by itself?
No. Covered employers also need a written program, workplace labeling, employee access to safety data sheets and employee information and training. Buying a manual does not replace those duties.

Can I get this with the other books?
Yes. Ask about the Policies & Procedures manual and the DOT Hazmat Security Plan alongside this manual.

What does it cost?
Depends on how many locations and how much you stock. Call and we will tell you straight. 610-228-0887.

Who builds it

Over a 25-year career, Bill Stomp ran 87 propane branch offices across 12 states. He is a combat veteran.

His experience running propane operations is behind the manuals we write for the people running them today.

Keep the documentation a loss-control review asks for in one place. Insurance professionals at Aegis, Nationwide, and eMaxx Assurance Group have recommended Propane Safety Pro to propane operators they work with.

We do not sell to homeowners. We sell to the people who run the trucks.

Get the writing and printing off your desk.

Tell us what you stock and what you have on paper now. We will tell you what is missing and what we would build. If it is not a fit, we will say so.
