Description: Risk Management Plans (RMP) are programs required for facilities that store or use certain hazardous substances above regulated thresholds.

RMP focuses on identifying potential chemical release scenarios, evaluating their potential impact, and developing prevention and emergency response strategies.

Training in RMP helps facilities maintain compliance with EPA regulations while strengthening preparedness, risk analysis, and community safety planning.

Requirements: OSHA 1910.120(q)

Scope: This course provides an overview of Risk Management Plan (RMP) requirements and the regulatory framework established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for facilities that store or use regulated hazardous substances above threshold quantities. The training focuses on understanding how to identify and evaluate potential chemical release scenarios and how to develop effective prevention, mitigation, and emergency response strategies.

Participants will learn the key components of an RMP program, including hazard assessment, off-site consequence analysis, prevention program requirements, accident history reporting, and emergency response coordination. The course also reviews documentation, reporting requirements, and submission procedures associated with maintaining compliance with EPA regulations.

Through practical examples and guided instruction, attendees will gain the knowledge needed to support the development, implementation, and maintenance of an effective RMP program. The training emphasizes improving risk awareness, strengthening incident prevention measures, and enhancing coordination with local emergency planning committees and response organizations to protect workers, the public, and the environment.

Who Should Attend: This course is designed for personnel responsible for developing, implementing, or maintaining Risk Management Plan (RMP) programs at facilities that store or use regulated hazardous substances.
