HazCom 2024 compliance software helps employers see which chemical products still need revised safety data sheets, workplace labels and training before the November 20, 2026 deadline for substances. It does not replace the legal duties, which are three: workplace labeling, the written program and additional training. What it adds is one shared view of what is done and what is still open. That matters six days out, when a missed product on a shelf is easy to overlook. EHS and plant leaders can see the open-items view run against a real chemical list in a short session.
See Exactly What Is Still Open Before November 20
iFactory AI gives employers a HazCom 2024 checklist with due dates, so safety sheets, labels and training are never guesswork.
What Are the Three Legal Employer Duties?
By November 20, employers must, as necessary, revise workplace labeling, the written hazard communication program and employee training for newly identified hazards (Haynes Boone, 2026). These are the duties the law lists.
Workplace Labeling
Labels on in-plant and secondary containers carry revised hazard information.
Written Program
The program describes real practice, because a generic template will not satisfy the duty (Haynes Boone, 2026).
Additional Training
Staff learn newly identified hazards, changed label elements and revised sheets.
How Do the Tracker Boxes Map to the Legal Duties?
Each legal duty either has a live box today or does not yet. The matrix keeps that honest.
| Item | Legal duty | Checklist box | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safety data sheets | Supports every duty | Sheets received | Live |
| Workplace labels | (f)(6) | Labels revised | Live |
| Written program | (h)(1) | Written program revised | Planned |
| Employee training | (h)(3) | Employees trained | Live |
How Does the Tracker Work, Step by Step?
The flow follows the order in which work normally happens on a plant floor.

What Does "Still Open" Look Like in Practice?
A board of open, in-progress and done work shows where the gaps sit. The products below are illustrative, and they reflect the aerosol and pressure categories the 2024 rule widened (Haynes Boone, 2026).
Which Dates Apply to Substances and Mixtures?
Substances are due November 20, 2026. Mixtures follow on a later track, with employer duties due May 19, 2028 (National Law Review, 2026). The extension was published at 91 FR 1695 (Jackson Lewis, 2026).
Who Uses the Tracker Day to Day?
Why Not Just Keep Using a Spreadsheet?
What Does the Tracker Not Do?
Honest limits build trust. The tracker records status, so it does not write your program, judge hazard classification or give legal advice. Keep your dated documents in your own record system. iFactory, an on-premise AI platform for manufacturing, offers Safety and Compliance and EHS Management modules around it, and teams can ask the customer portal team when the written-program step arrives.
Expert Review: Is a Tracker Enough on Its Own?
Frequently Asked Questions
What does HazCom 2024 compliance software do?
It gives employers one checklist for safety data sheets received, labels revised and employees trained, with due dates beside each item. It tracks status and does not replace your legal duties. Watch the checklist run on sample chemicals in a short demo.
Does the tracker cover the written program?
Not yet. The written-program step is a planned addition, and the three live boxes are not the full legal list. Track the program separately for now. Ask about the written-program roadmap in the customer portal.
What is the deadline the tracker works toward?
November 20, 2026 for substances, and May 19, 2028 for mixtures. The two tracks need separate dates and records. See both dates set up for your site with a specialist.
Can the tracker help if we start this week?
Yes. A fast view of open products shows where to act first, even with six days left. Start with products that have new classifications. Book a quick triage session on your own list.
Where should we keep the proof?
Keep dated programs, sheets, label records and training records in your document system, and point to them from the checklist. Ask the portal team how records fit alongside the tracker on your site.
