Facilities that use very small quantities of hazardous materials may not be required to report to government agencies. This is often due to regulatory thresholds that establish when reporting obligations are triggered, which typically vary depending on the specific hazardous material and its concentration or quantity. When the amount falls below these thresholds, the regulatory burden is significantly reduced, meaning that the facility is exempt from mandatory reporting.

In contrast, adhering to safety training protocols, maintaining safety data sheets, and conducting regular equipment checks are standard best practices regardless of the quantity of hazardous materials being handled. These measures ensure that workers are informed about potential hazards, that they have access to necessary safety information, and that equipment remains in safe operating condition.
