HazComFast vs VelocityEHS, in one paragraph
VelocityEHS is a platform for the whole EHS department, and its chemical module keeps SDSs on the phone offline and prints GHS labels. HazComFast does both for the jobsite, and adds the written HazCom program, the OSHA 300 logs and the permits a construction crew works under. Its 5 plans are posted, from Free to $799 a month. VelocityEHS doesn't post a price list.
Every statement about VelocityEHS on this page quotes VelocityEHS'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.

- Your EHS team wants several programs on one vendor's platform
In short: pick VelocityEHS 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.
- Published prices: 5 plans, from Free to $799 a month.
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 VelocityEHS 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
Can VelocityEHS work offline on a jobsite?
Yes, for chemical information. Its mobile apps page says you can "access safety data sheets, product details and container information both online and offline" and "save it to your mobile device for offline use" (ehs.com/mobile-apps, read October 8, 2026). On HazComFast, your jobsite's SDS load onto the phone on their own, and the app shows how many are ready (17 of 20, 20 of 20) before you head underground.
Is VelocityEHS worth it for a small construction company?
That depends on how much of the EHS department you want to run in software. VelocityEHS lists eight solution areas, from ergonomics to environmental compliance. If the job is keeping each jobsite's chemicals, labels, HazCom program and OSHA logs in order, HazComFast covers it at a posted price. Workers, foremen and subs are free on every plan.
How much does VelocityEHS cost?
VelocityEHS doesn't post a price list on ehs.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.
