Chemscape manages SDSs for Canadian workplaces. HazComFast is built from the ground up for US OSHA construction compliance.
Chemscape Safety Technologies is a Canadian SDS management platform focused on WHMIS compliance. While it handles GHS and has a large SDS database, it's primarily designed for Canadian regulatory requirements and doesn't offer the US OSHA-specific features that construction companies need — like defense packages, state penalty tracking, and 1926-specific compliance tools.

Chemscape can store SDSs for US companies, but it's designed around Canadian WHMIS regulations. It lacks US OSHA-specific features like state penalty tracking, 1926 construction standards, defense packages, and the offline-first architecture that field crews need.
Chemscape pricing varies but is typically comparable to HazComFast. However, US construction companies would need additional tools to cover OSHA-specific gaps (defense packages, state compliance, construction permits) — making the total cost higher than HazComFast's all-in-one platform.
If you operate in both Canada and the US, you might consider Chemscape for WHMIS alongside HazComFast for OSHA. But if you're US-only, HazComFast is the better choice — purpose-built for your regulatory environment.
Chemscape is solid for Canadian WHMIS compliance — but if you're a US construction company, you need a platform that speaks OSHA fluently. HazComFast is purpose-built for US construction, with every feature designed around 29 CFR 1926 and 1910.
