The primary goal of the RMP is to ensure that industries, community members and emergency responders have the proper tools to prevent catastrophic releases and reduce the severity of releases that do occur. Facilities which fail to comply with RMP reporting and implementation requirements can potentially be subject to substantial administrative, civil and/or criminal penalties.
This FREE RMP training will provide information about how to comply with the RMP reporting and emergency planning requirements. Major components of the RMP including common
deficiencies will be discussed, and questions will be answered. The instructors are highly qualified EPA staff with decades of collective RMP inspection and enforcement experience.CONTACT: In order to guarantee a space, please register by phone or email by June 11.
