Safety data sheets by product

Windshield washer fluid SDS

Windshield washer fluid (also searched as washer fluid, windshield wiper fluid, de-icer washer fluid) has no single safety data sheet. Each maker writes its own, and Section 2 of the sheet you hold decides what it sets off under OSHA. The employer keeps it readily accessible each shift (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(8)). 2 official sheets are linked below.

Why does the windshield washer fluid SDS change with the brand?

The alcohol in the fluid decides much of Section 2. Prestone's All Season 3-1 sheet, prepared Jul 23, 2020, names methanol and lists a Category 3 flammable liquid, acute toxicity Category 3 and single-exposure organ toxicity Category 1, with a Danger signal word. Rain-X's washer fluid additive sheet, revised Feb 17, 2025, lists a Category 3 flammable liquid and eye irritation Category 2, also with Danger. A bottle of the same size in the same aisle can come with a different sheet.

The sheets below carry dates from Jul 23, 2020 to Feb 17, 2025.

Prestone's sheet names methanol, which has its own chemical page: Methanol (CAS 67-56-1).

What should I read first on my sheet?

Look for methanol in Section 3, because the two sheets we read differ on it. Prestone's all-season fluid names methanol and lists a flammable liquid, acute toxicity and organ toxicity under Danger. Rain-X's additive lists a flammable liquid and eye irritation. A concentrate you dilute has its own sheet apart from a ready-to-use fluid, and Section 9 gives the flash point that the dispensing paragraph turns on.

What does your sheet set off under OSHA?

Paragraphs a windshield washer fluid sheet can set off
If your sheet says	What follows	Paragraphs
Section 2 lists any classification	Written 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 a flammable liquid	Dispensing paragraph: Category 1 or 2, or Category 3 below 100 °F.	(29 CFR 1910.106(e)(6)(ii); 1926.152(e)(2))

Finding the windshield washer fluid 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 windshield washer fluid 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 windshield washer fluid 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 windshield washer fluid

Is washer fluid a consumer product?

It is sold to consumers, and paragraph (b)(6)(ix) takes a consumer product out of the standard only when the employer can show the use matches a consumer's. A fleet that fills tanks all day may not meet that test; the paragraph is quoted on the conditions above.

Does an additive have the same sheet as a ready-to-use fluid?

No. Rain-X's sheet is for the additive that you add to water. A ready-to-use fluid is another product and has its own sheet.
