Hazardous materials compliance—applied in the real world
From hazard classification and MAQ evaluation to real-world implementation, we help you keep operations safe, compliant, and efficient.
What we help you do
- Classify hazardous materials correctly
- Evaluate quantities against MAQs and code limits
- Prepare inventory statements and submittals
- Navigate complex requirements for batteries, semiconductor facilities, and other high-hazard uses
Chemical classification and SDS support
Get hazard classifications right from the start
We help you classify hazardous materials using IFC, IBC, and GHS criteria—so decisions are consistent, defensible, and aligned with code requirements.
What we support
- Review SDS hazard data and confirm applicable hazard classes
- Identify missing, conflicting, or misapplied classifications
- Translate GHS classifications to IFC/IBC hazard categories
- Support documentation for plan review and compliance decisions
Why it matters
Incorrect or inconsistent classifications lead to downstream issues – misapplied MAQs, incomplete submittals, and delays during review. We help establish a clear, defensible basis for compliance from the beginning.
Hazardous Materials Inventory Statements (HMIS)
Prepare inventory statements that support review and approval
We help you develop HMIS documentation that clearly reflects hazard classifications, quantities, and storage conditions – aligned with IFC and IBC requirements.
What we support
- Develop or review HMIS for new and existing facilities
- Verify hazard classifications and aggregation by hazard class
- Evaluate quantities against MAQs by control area and occupancy
- Align documentation with plan review and permitting requirements
Why it matters
Incomplete or inconsistent HMIS documentation leads to delays, resubmittals, and confusion during review. We help ensure inventory statements are clear, technically correct, and aligned with how code officials evaluate compliance.
Battery and semiconductor compliance support
Support for complex, high-hazard applications
We help navigate code requirements for battery systems and semiconductor facilities, where hazard classification, MAQs, and system design directly impact compliance and permitting.
Battery systems
- Evaluate hazard classifications and applicable code requirements
- Support design approaches for energy storage systems and associated hazards
- Assist with documentation for plan review and permitting
- Coordinate with project teams and AHJs to resolve compliance issues
Semiconductor facilities
- Support hazardous production material (HPM) classification and inventory development
- Evaluate MAQs and control area compliance for fabrication and support spaces
- Assist with gas system, storage, and use considerations under applicable codes
- Coordinate with design teams and reviewers to address complex compliance conditions
Why it matters
Battery and semiconductor projects often involve overlapping requirements, evolving technologies, and jurisdiction-specific interpretations. We help establish a clear, defensible path to compliance that aligns with how these systems are reviewed in practice.
Training and Workshops
Practical training based on real code application
We provide training that reflects how hazardous materials requirements are applied in design, plan review, and inspection – using real examples and project-based scenarios.
What we cover
- IFC/IBC hazardous materials code training (tailored to your jurisdiction)
- Hazard classification using GHS criteria and SDS interpretation
- MAQs, control areas, and occupancy considerations
- Hazardous Materials Inventory Statements (HMIS) and summary reports
- How to review permits for submittal readiness and HMIS development
- NFPA 704, SDS interpretation, and GHS hazard overview
Formats and delivery
- Live virtual sessions or on-site training
- Project-specific workshops tailored to your facility or design
- Hands-on HMEx Assistant walkthroughs
- Live Q&A with experienced code professionals
Why it matters
Effective training goes beyond definitions. We focus on how requirements are interpreted and applied so teams can make consistent, defensible decisions in real projects.
