On or about May 3, 2011, EPA conducted an inspection of a water treatment plant to determine compliance with Section 112(r) of the CAA and 40 C.F.R. Part 68. Information collected during the inspection showed the facility exceeded the threshold quantity for chlorine, thus the facility is subject to the requirements of Section 112(r) of the CAA, 40 C.F.R. Part 68 because it is an owner and operator...

If you are an RMP site and have updated your RMP Submittal in the past couple of years you may have noticed a slight discrepancy in some of the data. In fact, the EPA guidance documents are also out-of-date with the ERPG-2 level for Ammonia still is being shown as 200 ppm. I am not sure about the many other Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS), but I work with many Ammonia facilities, doing...

Although the agreement does NOT state the EHS involved, I am going to make a strong assumption that it is Chlorine. This inspection netted a whopping $980 in fines. Here are the elements allegedly violated:

“The Station” a new documentary about the fire is scheduled to release in February of...

Now this video was shot in China, but see how many unsafe acts you can count the operator of this front-end loader commits in this 8 minute video. Other than the obvious that he is not wearing his seatbelt and no back up alarm on the loader, how many can you spot?
