HazComFast vs ERA EHS, in one paragraph
ERA EHS authors SDSs, prints GHS and shipping labels and files environmental reports up to Title V air permits. HazComFast is built for the contractor's side of HazCom: each jobsite's SDS on the phone, GHS workplace labels, the written program, the OSHA 300 logs and Tier II, at prices posted from Free to $799 a month.
Every statement about ERA EHS on this page quotes ERA EHS's own public pages, read on October 8, 2026 and listed under Sources. Where those pages say nothing either way, the table shows a dash. The HazComFast side comes from its published plans. This page is a product comparison, not legal advice.

When to pick which
Choose ERA EHS if…
- You author SDSs for products you manufacture
- You file environmental reports such as TRI or Clean Air Act Title V permits
In short: pick ERA EHS when its breadth or specialty matches a need that goes beyond US construction HazCom.
Choose HazComFast if…
- Your jobsite's SDS load onto the phone on their own. The app shows how many are ready (17 of 20, 20 of 20) before you head underground.
- A written HazCom program, versioned: the document 29 CFR 1910.1200(e)(1) requires.
- Hot work, confined space and excavation permits.
In short: pick HazComFast when the work happens on jobsites and you want the SDS binder, the labels and the written program in one place, at a posted price.
What OSHA actually requires (and what these tools help with)
Software does not make you compliant — the Hazard Communication Standard does the requiring; the tool just helps you meet it. For construction, HazCom is enforced under 29 CFR 1926.59, which adopts the general-industry standard 29 CFR 1910.1200 in full. Both HazComFast and ERA EHS are ways to satisfy parts of that standard — primarily the obligation to keep safety data sheets readily accessible to employees during each work shift under 1910.1200(g)(8), plus container labeling under 1910.1200(f) and employee training under 1910.1200(h).
The practical difference for a contractor is access in the field: a basement, tunnel, or rural pour with no signal still has to provide that “readily accessible” SDS. That is the gap an offline-first tool is meant to close, and it is the core of this comparison.

Frequently asked questions
Does ERA EHS make GHS labels?
Yes. ERA's SDS authoring software generates "GHS and DoT shipping labels" and creates "secondary workplace labels with the essential safety data your employees need" (era-environmental.com/solutions/sds-authoring, read October 8, 2026). HazComFast prints GHS workplace labels on Avery and Zebra stock.
Do I need both ERA EHS and HazComFast?
Maybe. If you author SDSs for products you make, or file Title V air permits, ERA covers that work. If your job is keeping each jobsite's chemicals, labels, HazCom program and OSHA logs in order, HazComFast covers it, and it also prepares the EPCRA Tier II report.
How does ERA EHS pricing compare?
ERA doesn't post a price list on era-environmental.com (checked October 8, 2026), so ask for a quote. HazComFast posts its prices: Free, then $69, $199, $399 and $799 a month.

Get the Binder in Order Before the Inspector Arrives. Are You Ready?
OSHA does not give advance notice of inspections (29 CFR 1903.6). Get the binder in order before the opening conference, not during it.
