Safety data sheets by product

Used oil SDS

Used oil (also searched as waste oil, used motor oil, recycled oil) has no maker's sheet, because no maker sells it. The sheet to read is the one your collector or recycler gives you for the oil it takes, and the employer keeps the sheet of each hazardous chemical in use readily accessible each shift (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(8)).

No maker's sheet exists for this product.

Why does the used oil SDS change with the brand?

No maker sells used oil, so there is no maker's sheet for it. The sheet comes from the company that collects or recycles the oil, and it describes the oil that company takes, not the new oil you poured in. A sheet for new oil is where to start reading, because the used oil in your drum has also been through an engine.

Where does the sheet come from?

We link no used-oil sheet on this page. A sheet from one collector describes that collector's oil, so the useful one is the sheet your own collector gives you. Ask for it by the name on your pickup paperwork, and note the revision date.

What should I read first on my sheet?

Start with where the oil comes from: no maker sells it, so the sheet to read is your collector's or recycler's, for the oil it takes. Ask for it by the name on the pickup paperwork and note the revision date. Read Section 2 for the classes and Section 14 for transport. The sheet for the new oil you poured in is a useful guide, but it describes the oil before the engine.

What does your sheet set off under OSHA?

Paragraphs a used oil sheet can set off
If your sheet saysWhat followsParagraphs
The oil is a hazardous wasteA hazardous waste as RCRA defines it, when subject to EPA's regulations, is outside the standard. EPA defines used oil as any oil refined from crude oil, or any synthetic oil, that has been used and as a result is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities.(29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(6)(i))
Section 2 lists any classificationWritten program with chemical list, training, sheet access, labels.(29 CFR 1910.1200(c), (e)(1), (f)(6), (g)(8), (h)(1); 1926.59)
Section 2 lists no classificationThat sheet sets off none of these. The same name can carry another formula.(29 CFR 1910.1200(c), (d)(1))
EPA definition of used oil40 CFR 279.1: “Used oil means any oil that has been refined from crude oil, or any synthetic oil, that has been used and as a result of such use is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities.”

Finding the used oil sheet is the easy part

Keeping every sheet read, current and ready for an inspector is the work that never ends. HazComFast does it with your crew: the AI extracts each sheet, and every reading leaves a proof.

Extraction: the AI reads every sheet

Scanned, long or in Spanish, it reads

Drop in the used oil sheet, scanned or not, in English or Spanish. HazComFast reads every page, with progress shown page by page, so a 32-page sheet gets read to the last page.

Every section a foreman needs

Composition, spill response, storage, physical properties, stability and toxicology land on the product page with their source, so the sections a foreman actually needs aren't buried in a PDF.

The AI proposes, a person signs off

Each hazard shows where it came from: extracted from the sheet, or confirmed by a named person on a date. Confidence is measured against the text of the sheet, and below a floor every field is checked by hand before it saves.

A pictogram is never guessed

A pictogram only goes on your label if it's actually on the sheet or follows from its H-codes. H225 on the sheet means GHS02 and DANGER on the label, derived from OSHA's Appendix C.

Checked against 200 real sheets

Every change to the AI is checked against a reference set of 200 real SDSs before it ships. A field it isn't sure about is highlighted for you to check, and the inventory flags products whose extraction hasn't been validated yet.

Proof of reading, without the chasing

Nobody has to remember to ask

Add a hazardous product to a site and every worker there gets one notice with a 7-day due date. A reminder follows at day 3 and an escalation at day 7.

“I read it” can't be a reflex tap

The confirm button stays grey until the worker has scrolled through first aid or to the last page of the PDF and has spent 15 seconds there. The record keeps how long and how far.

A proof of reading the worker keeps

The worker ticks an attestation, and the record keeps which SDS version they read, the server time and the device. They can download their own PDF of it.

A new sheet means a new reading

When a manufacturer updates a sheet and the hazards change, everyone who confirmed the old one is asked to read the new one. Each confirmation keeps which version they read, for which jobsite.

Who read what, in one console

See who hasn't read what, nudge everyone overdue in one click, and export last month's confirmations for one jobsite, each with the SDS version they read.

The reading joins the training file

Each confirmed reading also lands in the worker's training file as a HazCom reading record, so your training records and your SDS records tell the same story.

From the sheet to the label

A label that can't go out empty

A label with five pictograms keeps all five, because the format switches. A label with no hazard information won't print. When the sheet changes, you get a relabeling task with its six-month deadline.

English and Spanish, side by side

Hazard and precautionary statements show in English and Spanish on every product page. A Spanish sheet that says PELIGRO is recorded as DANGER, and the original file stays attached as you received it.

Every print on record

Every print run is logged with exactly what went on the labels. When a hazard changes, the relabel task can only be closed by a print made after the change.

In the field, on the phone

Scan the drum

Scan the QR code on a drum and the page shows the maker and the CAS number under the title, so you know you hold the right one. A drum taken out of inventory still opens its SDS, marked as removed.

Search inside the sheet

Type “eye contact” and you land on first aid. Pinch to zoom on the small print.

Still there with no signal

Offline, the worker opens the sheet itself, with first aid and what to do in a spill. “Available offline” only shows when the PDF is on the phone.

When the inspector asks

The binder, in one click

One click gives you the jobsite's SDS binder, with used oil in it, as a ZIP with a CSV index, and a dated CSV or PDF of who confirmed reading what. That is what you hand an inspector or a GC.

No expired-sheet myth

HazComFast never tells you a sheet has expired, because OSHA doesn't set an expiration date. You choose your own review interval, and the app labels it as your internal policy.

The chemical list behind it

Bring your spreadsheet

Imported products get the same pictograms as ones entered by hand, and importing the same file twice doesn't duplicate anything.

Each product, at every site

Each product page shows every site it's stored at with quantities, and warns you if something incompatible is stored at the same site.

A program that stays true

The chemical list in your HazCom program is built from each jobsite's inventory. Remove a product and the program tells you the list is out of date, with a button to rebuild it.

Questions about used oil

Is used oil a hazardous waste?

EPA defines used oil in 40 CFR 279.1, quoted above. Whether a batch of it is a hazardous waste depends on what is in it, and your collector or your state environmental agency can tell you. Paragraph (b)(6)(i) of the HazCom standard then turns on that answer.

What do I ask my collector for?

The collector's sheet for the oil it picks up, with the product name, the revision date, and Section 2 (classification), Section 8 (limits and protection) and Section 14 (transport). Keep it with the sheets for the new oil.
