As you begin to receive the new P&G product it is also important to remember to make sure we are OSHA compliant. P&G will provide you with SDS (Safety Data Sheets) on all new chemicals/products. Anytime new chemicals or products are being introduced and used on the property there must be an SDS for those products. We must train our staff on these new products, explain what the hazards are, how to properly use and how to handle chemicals as well as any Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) items required when handling product.
This is not a new process and again should have always been in place. Therefore, anytime new product is introduced a training log listing product must be completed with employee signature and what exposure risk had been reviewed.
You may be more familiar with the below log which employees are expected to sign. So, whether the new product is added on the log below or on the ones that P&G attached is fine, as long as training takes place, we have the SDS sheets, the training is signed off on.

What should I do with the old Ecolab logs?
Any training that relates to any OSHA data must be maintained for 5 years to show historical training. Ecolab logs must be maintained for this minimum. As long as all Ecolab product is removed from the hotel and no straggler product is stored anywhere then you may remove the SDS sheets on file for those chemicals.
The important factor to remember is that no product may be on property - even in a storage room - without having an SDS sheet on file for staff to reference the product. Take the time to review your SDS binder and make sure all are up to date, provide training and keep a log.
