One of the requirements for being a Certified Stone and Tile PRO Partner is to operate your business in an OSHA health and safety compliant manner. It is not uncommon when bidding jobs with some contractors and government or state facilities that you must provide proof of having a HAZCOM and health and safety program in place. Although all Partners have full access to SafeAndCompliant.net, a Stone and Tile PRO/SurpHaces Partner your membership to safeandcompliant.net is free.

A written HAZCOM and a Safety and Health program is
designed to keep you and your staff safe in the workplace. It
may also be required by law.
• Do you have at least one employee? (Includes temporary,
and part-time)
• Do they use chemicals and/or cleaners in their job?
• Do they use machines or equipment as part of their job?
These are just some of the basic questions that if you answered
yes to, means that you are mandated by law to have a HAZCOM
and safety program in place and to follow it. Not having one
could have costly consequences.
Many small service companies are totally unaware that this is
required by OSHA and other agencies. As a result, many are
getting fined every day, sometimes totaling tens of thousands
— or more dollars.
