OSHA HazCom compliance for nail salons.
From acetone refills at every station to MMA bans and ventilation logs — HazCom48 turns the regulatory mess into a clean, audit-ready system for your salon.
Nail salons are covered by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) because every salon handles hazardous chemicals — acetone, ethyl methacrylate (EMA) monomer, polish remover, primer, and disinfectant. Salons must maintain a written hazard communication program, an SDS for each product, labeled secondary containers (including refilled acetone bottles at each station), and documented employee training in a language each technician understands.

Nail Salons HazCom — common questions
Do nail salons need an OSHA HazCom written program?
Yes. Any salon that uses acetone, monomer, polish remover, or disinfectant is required to maintain a written hazard communication program under 29 CFR 1910.1200, regardless of how many technicians work there.
Does my refill acetone bottle at the station need a label?
Yes. A station-side refill bottle is a secondary container under OSHA. It must show the chemical name and the relevant hazard pictograms (Flame and Exclamation Mark for acetone) unless one technician fully consumes it within a single shift.
Can I train my technicians in Vietnamese?
Yes — and you must train in a language they understand. OSHA's HazCom training requirement is met when the worker actually comprehends the material, regardless of language.
