The 5-year accident history shows no reportable incidents. A site emergency response plan, coordinated with local municipal authorities, exists, and regular training sessions and drills are conducted. Accidental release prevention steps utilized for the RMP chemical processes include all of the pr evention elements outlined in the OSHA 1910.119 program. Changes to improve safety are an ongoing component of the site's safety and environmental management programs. |
