Section Number: 1-1 Issue Date: 3/27/2006 Revision Date: Page 1 of 1 9-1 RISK MANAGEMENT PLANNING Overview Facilities that store a regulated substance in quantities greater than/equal to a threshold limits defined by the Clean Air Act (CAA), must prepare and submit a Risk Management Plan. (Examples of regulated substances stored at some ARAMARK locations may include 10,000 lbs. or more of propane, 20,000 lbs. or more of ammonia, and 2,500 lbs. or more of chlorine.) Three Key Issues: • Risk Management Planning requires a certified plan for risk management in the event of an accidental release of a regulated substance such as ammonia, chlorine, or propane. Although propane is on the regulated substances list at 10,000 pounds, this applies to bulk plants. Therefore AUS is exempt if propane is used as boiler backup fuel. Small quantity waste oil & fuel oil, such as fleet products and waste, are also exempt from RMP. At this time, all active AUS operations are exempt from RMP. If you have questions regarding applicability, please call ARAMARK Operations Support at (630) 271-2988. Risk Management Planning Requirements: The United States Environmental Protection Agency requires that ail facilities that store regulated substances above threshold limits develop a risk management planning program. Authority for this program are granted under the Clean Air Act (CAA), in Section 112r, Federal Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA), 29 CFR 1910.110 and 1920.109 under Process Safety Management. Local and State Regulations should also be taken into consideration in the formulation of individual site plans. A Risk Management Plan includes the following components: • Initial Hazard Assessment; • Accidental Release Prevention Program; • Emergency Response Program; • A Certificated RMP Plan with Periodic Plan Updates.
