Know What Is Actually On Site

Hazard communication starts with an accurate inventory. Product received under a new name, an unlabeled drum in the corner of a warehouse, or a tank never entered into the list weakens every downstream control.
What to reconcile each month:
• Tank, drum and tote inventories against the site chemical list.
• Every new additive, lubricant, dye or cleaner added the day it arrives.
• Quantity, location, hazard class and the current Safety Data Sheet revision for each item.
• Discontinued products removed, and drums that were consolidated or partially used.
Why quantity matters:
Emergency responders size the response from quantities and locations, not from product names. An inventory entry that says "small amount" tells them nothing.
