Understanding the Risk Management Program Rule
The Risk Management Program (RMP), established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is a critical regulatory framework for facilities handling hazardous substances, governed by Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act.
Recently the EPA issued a final rule expanding RMP regulations for facilities managing certain quantities of regulated chemicals. This rule reinstates requirements from previous versions and introduces new obligations that enhance safety measures.
Facilities must comply with evolving RMP requirements by maintaining up-to-date hazard assessments, implementing prevention measures, and ensuring emergency response protocols are in place. Non-compliance can result in penalties, operational disruptions, and reputational damage.
