In Depth

Key obligations include maintaining Safety Data Sheets, training staff on chemical hazards, providing personal protective equipment, and following the bloodborne pathogens standard where exposure is possible. OSHA enforces these through inspections and penalties.

Why It Matters

Non-compliance exposes both the cleaning company and the building owner to citations, fines, and liability. Buyers increasingly require documented OSHA compliance as a condition of contract.
