1. Purpose, scope & written program

This document is ClearFlight Detailing LLC’s written Hazard Communication Program required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200(e). It identifies every hazardous chemical we use in our work, where Safety Data Sheets are stored, how containers are labeled, and how technicians are trained.

Scope: Every ClearFlight technician, contractor, or apprentice who handles a cleaning, polishing, protectant, or solvent product on a job site. Reviewed annually and any time a new product is added to the APL (TM-002).

Where SDSs are stored: Hard-copy binder in every service vehicle (red SDS folder, glove-box accessible). Digital copies in ClearFlight Detailing/SDS_Library/. SDSs must be available within 1 minute of being requested by a technician, customer, or first responder.

2. Regulatory basis — what governs us

Regulation	What it requires	How ClearFlight complies
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 — Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom 2012)	Written program, container labeling per GHS, accessible SDSs, employee training before first exposure to hazardous chemicals.

3. How to read a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Under GHS, every SDS has the same 16 sections in the same order. Sections 1–8 are the ones every technician must understand before using any product. Sections 9–16 are reference for emergencies and disposal.

SDS Section 1Identification — Product name, manufacturer, emergency phone, recommended use.

SDS Section 2Hazard(s) Identification — Read this first. Pictograms, signal word (Danger or Warning), hazard statements (H-codes), precautionary statements (P-codes).

SDS Section 3Composition / Information on Ingredients — Chemical names, CAS numbers, percentages.

SDS Section 4First-Aid Measures — Eye, skin, inhalation, ingestion. Save this number to phone before first use.

SDS Section 5Fire-Fighting Measures — Extinguisher class, special hazards.

SDS Section 6Accidental Release Measures — Spill response, containment.

SDS Section 7Handling & Storage — Temperature, ventilation, incompatible materials.

SDS Section 8Exposure Controls / PPE — Read this before use. Required gloves, eye protection, respirator, exposure limits (PEL, TLV, STEL).

SDS Section 9–11Physical / Chemical Properties, Stability, Toxicology — Reference for emergencies.

SDS Section 12–15Ecological, Disposal, Transport, Regulatory — EPA waste codes, DOT shipping name, regulatory inventories.

SDS Section 16Other Information — SDS revision date (verify it’s current).

Rule: Before any product touches an aircraft, the technician using it has read at minimum SDS Sections 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 of that product. If the SDS is more than 3 years old, request an updated one from the manufacturer.

4. GHS pictograms — the 9 hazard classes

Every container of a hazardous product carries one or more of these red-bordered diamond pictograms. Memorize them. If you see one and can’t identify it, ask before using the product.

Corrosive

Skin/eye burns, metal corrosion

Flammable

Flammable liquids, gases, solids

Exclamation Mark

Irritant, skin sensitizer, narcotic effects

Health Hazard

Carcinogen, respiratory sensitizer, reproductive toxicity

Skull & Crossbones

Acute toxicity (fatal/toxic if inhaled, swallowed, on skin)

Environment

Aquatic toxicity (acute & chronic)

Exploding Bomb

Explosives, self-reactive, organic peroxides

Flame Over Circle

Oxidizers (intensifies fire)

Gas Cylinder

Gases under pressure (compressed, liquefied, dissolved)

5. Signal words — Danger vs. Warning

Every GHS-labeled product has exactly one signal word. It tells you, at a glance, the severity of the hazard.

Signal Word	Severity	What it means in the field
Danger	Most severe hazard categories (1, 1A, 1B, 2 for some classes)	This product can kill, blind, burn, or cause permanent injury. PPE is mandatory and full attention is required.
Warning	Less severe hazard categories (typically 2, 3, 4)	This product can irritate, sensitize, or cause moderate harm. PPE still required — especially eye and skin protection.
Caution / no signal	Low-hazard / non-classified	Standard hand & eye protection still recommended. Read SDS Section 2 to confirm.

6. H-codes & P-codes — the standardized statements

OSHA HazCom uses standardized statements so a Spanish-speaking forklift driver in Toledo and an English-speaking detail tech in Rio Vista see the same H-code on the same product. Critical codes you’ll see on aviation/automotive products:

Common H-codes (Hazard statements)

Code	Meaning
H225	Highly flammable liquid and vapor
H226	Flammable liquid and vapor
H302	Harmful if swallowed
H314	Causes severe skin burns and eye damage
H315	Causes skin irritation
H318	Causes serious eye damage
H319	Causes serious eye irritation
H332	Harmful if inhaled
H335	May cause respiratory irritation
H336	May cause drowsiness or dizziness
H351	Suspected of causing cancer
H400	Very toxic to aquatic life
H410	Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects

Common P-codes (Precautionary statements)

Code	Meaning
P210	Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, hot surfaces — no smoking
P233	Keep container tightly closed
P260	Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray

10. Container labeling — ClearFlight workplace label standard

Per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200(f), every product container at a ClearFlight job site must be labeled. Manufacturer original labels are always preferred. If we transfer product to a smaller spray bottle or applicator container, that container gets a ClearFlight workplace label.

ClearFlight workplace label fields (minimum):

Product name (matching the SDS)
Product hazards (key H-codes or short hazard statement)
Pictograms (matching original)
Date the secondary container was filled
Initials of who filled it

Exception: A container is exempt from labeling if it is for the immediate use of one technician, who fills it & uses up its contents during the same shift, and never leaves their direct control.

11. Spill response & cleanup

Small spill (<1 gallon, low-hazard product)

Stop the source. Right the container.
Don nitrile gloves & safety glasses.
Absorb with universal absorbent pads or kitty litter.
Bag in heavy-duty contractor bag, label as “non-hazardous spent absorbent” if product was non-classified, OR “hazardous waste” if product was classified.
Document in the spill log (Section 17).

Large spill (>1 gallon) OR any classified-hazard product spill

Evacuate the immediate area. Assess airflow if indoors.
Don full PPE per the SDS Section 8 of the spilled product (typically goggles + chem gloves + apron + respirator).
Contain with absorbent boom or berm. Prevent flow toward drains, soils, or water.
If a hangar/airport drain is involved, immediately notify the airport ops & the FBO.
If >1 gallon of hazardous product, notify owner-operator (RC or Terry) and consider EPA reporting requirements (CERCLA reportable quantity if applicable).
Containerize spent absorbent in DOT-rated drum; label hazardous waste.
Disposal per Section 14.
File full incident report (Section 17) within 24 hours.

Aviation spill considerations: A spill on a customer’s ramp, hangar floor, or near another aircraft requires immediate notification to the FBO and the aircraft owner. Document with photos. Many hangars have specific spill containment requirements in their lease.

12. First-aid measures

These are the universal first-aid responses. ALWAYS check the specific product SDS Section 4 for product-specific guidance — especially for solvents, acids, and corrosives.

Exposure	First aid response
Eye contact	Immediately flush eyes with clean water or eyewash for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids apart. Remove contact lenses if easily done. Continue rinsing en route to medical care for any classified-hazard product. Call POISON CENTER at 1-800-222-1222.
Skin contact	Remove contaminated clothing and jewelry. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. For corrosives or solvents, continue while seeking medical care. Do NOT apply ointments unless directed.
Inhalation	Move person to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen if trained & available. Call 911 for any difficulty breathing, dizziness, or loss of consciousness.
Ingestion	DO NOT induce vomiting unless specifically directed by SDS or Poison Control. Rinse mouth. Sip water if conscious & alert. Call POISON CENTER 1-800-222-1222. Bring the SDS to the ER.
Aerosol propellant inhalation	Move to fresh air. If symptoms (dizziness, nausea, headache, confusion) persist >10 minutes, seek medical attention.

Have these numbers programmed into every technician’s phone:

911 — emergency / fire / serious medical
1-800-222-1222 — National Poison Control (24/7)
1-800-424-9300 — CHEMTREC (chemical emergencies/spills, 24/7)
(707) 744-3939 — ClearFlight ops — notify R.C. immediately of any incident

13. Storage, handling & transport (DOT)

Storage

Cool, dry, ventilated storage. Most products: 50–90°F.
Aerosols: max 120°F. Never in direct sun in a hot vehicle.
Flammables: away from ignition sources, oxidizers, and oxygen cylinders.
Acids and bases: separated. Do not store together.
Manufacturer original containers preferred.

On-vehicle transport (DOT)

Service vehicle quantities are below DOT placard threshold (Materials of Trade exception — 49 CFR 173.6).
Products in original UN-labeled manufacturer containers.
Total flammable liquid < 8 gal; total any single class < 440 lb gross.
Container security — products strapped or stored in a sealed compartment to prevent shifting.
SDS binder accessible from cab for any product on the vehicle.
Fire extinguisher (5-lb ABC minimum) in every vehicle.

14. Disposal & EPA-compliant waste handling

ClearFlight Detailing LLC operates as a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG / VSQG) under EPA 40 CFR 261.5 — generating less than 100 kg (220 lb) of hazardous waste per month.

Waste type	Disposal protocol
Non-hazardous wash water (mild soap, no engine area)	Discharge to sanitary sewer with FBO/airport authorization. NEVER to storm drain.
Solvent-contaminated rags	Bag in approved oily-rag bin (UL-listed) on site. Returned to authorized industrial laundry or hazardous waste hauler. Never landfilled, never burned on site.
Used product containers (rinsed)	Triple-rinse, recycle if accepted. Otherwise, bag & dispose with general waste.
Used product containers (not rinsed, hazardous content)	Hazardous waste pickup — arranged with licensed hauler.
Spent absorbents from a hazardous spill	DOT-rated drum, labeled hazardous waste, hauler pickup, manifest retained 3 years.
Aerosol cans (empty)	Recycle as scrap metal if fully discharged AND no hazardous residue. Otherwise hazardous waste.

15. Eyewash & emergency shower requirements

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151(c) requires “suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body” where injurious corrosive materials may be present. ClearFlight standard:

Every service vehicle carries a 1-gallon portable ANSI Z358.1-rated eyewash bottle, accessible within 10 seconds.
Shelf life: replace per manufacturer (typically 24 months) or sooner if seal is broken.
For jobs using high-hazard products (Samsol T-1, Stoddard, any caustic or solvent), confirm a plumbed eyewash within 10-second walk — or stage two portable eyewashes plus a pre-filled 5-gallon body wash bucket within reach.
Verify eyewash bottles before each work day (visual inspection of seal and fluid level).

16. Heat & chemical exposure protocols

Per Cal/OSHA Title 8 §3395 (Heat Illness Prevention — Outdoor Worksites):

Provide cool drinking water — 1 quart per worker per hour minimum.
Shade access when temperature exceeds 80°F — minimum 25 sq ft per worker.
High-heat procedures (95°F+): mandatory rest breaks every 2 hours; pre-shift meeting on heat illness signs.
Symptoms: heavy sweating, headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea — STOP work, hydrate, cool down, notify R.C.
Heat stroke (loss of consciousness, hot dry skin, confusion) — 911 immediately.

Chemical exposure during a long aircraft job in a hot hangar compounds heat stress. Schedule heavy-solvent or polishing tasks for cooler hours. Rotate technicians out of respirator/Tyvek suit work every 30 minutes minimum at 85°F+.

17. Exposure incident log — form
