This Unique class addresses PSM and RMP plans from a different perspective. While most seminars and training are aimed at what a company must do to get into compliance with these regulations, this course is intended to aid the Refrigeration Operator, Supervisor, Manager or Safety Manager in staying in compliance after their company program is written. OSHA's Process Safety Management standard (1910.119) is a complex, Goal-oriented standard designed to prevent disasters from accidental release of more than 137 chemicals specified in the standard sound PSM program is not only a legal requirement and good business practice, it also provides a solid basis for implementing a program to comply with EPA's 40 CFR Part 68 - Risk Management Programs for Accidental Chemical Release Prevention (RMP). Though the focus of these two regulations is different, the required elements are very similar.  We have help train operators for companies with less than 10,000 pounds of ammonia on-site who want to meet the EPA "General Duty" requirements imposed on all companies who handle any amount of hazardous chemical.
