The EPA recently published significant revisions to the Risk Management Program (RMP), and the updated regulations took effect on May 11, 2024. The RMP amendments mandate that covered facilities, including chemical plants, refineries, and other industries, adhere to stringent new requirements for accident prevention, safeguard measures, and emergency response. Additionally, these amendments require that more information about chemical hazards be shared with the public. Companies only have until May 10, 2027, to fully implement the new requirements into their Process Safety Management (PSM) program.

On Thursday, May 15, 2025, join us for this Microsoft Teams live instructor-led course facilitated by Anna Shinkawa. Ms. Shinkawa has over 12 years of experience managing and executing pressure relief and flare system design and analysis, quantitative risk assessments (QRAs), and facility sitings for large chemical and petrochemical companies in the U.S. She has also conducted PSM and RMP audits for major chemical facilities.

This course will help facility owners and operators understand and develop implementation strategies for the new EPA RMP requirements. Key aspects of the changes and the challenges related to Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP), facility siting, Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Safer Technology Alternate Analysis (STAA), and Process Safety Information (PSI) will be covered.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the impacts and challenges of the EPA RMP Rule amendments and evaluate their implications for process safety and regulatory compliance
• Identify and assess key compliance issues to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements and best practices
• Will be able to implement new technical approaches and compliance strategies for RAGAGEP
• Describe the relief system design, Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), and Process Safety Information (PSI) requirements under the new rule and apply them to ensure regulatory compliance and process safety
• Will be able to implement new technical approaches and compliance strategies for facility siting
• Identify strategies for assessing and managing proximate sources to enhance process safety and security
• Be able to analyze the legal implications of Safer Technology Alternate Analysis (STAA) to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and mitigate potential liabilities
• Apply Inherently Safer Design (ISD) concepts, PHA checklists, and other practical implementation strategies during a PHA to enhance hazard identification and risk reduction
• Apply the practicability assessment framework to implement appropriate risk reduction strategies
