Prepare your Ohio Tier II filing in HazRecord

Organize chemical inventory, SDS records, and threshold tracking, then generate a ready-to-submit .t2s file.

Before submitting, we recommend independently validating the file using EPA’s own Tier2 Submit software to confirm it opens and validates as expected: good practice for any compliance filing, regardless of which tool prepared it.
