Focus Article - 2024 EPA Risk Management Program Updates
On March 11, 2024, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published changes to its Risk Management Program (RMP) requirements. The revisions originated with the 2022 Safer Communities by Chemical Accident Prevention (SCCAP) rule. For those with processes already covered by OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) regulation, many of the new requirements will be familiar and your existing PSM programs may already meet some of the new requirements. In other cases, the requirements are completely new.
This article will describe the changes being required by the EPA.
