EPA Risk Management Program (RMP) Overview
The EPA Risk Management Program (RMP) is a key regulation aimed at preventing chemical accidents that could harm workers, communities, and the environment. Under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act, facilities handling hazardous substances must develop and implement risk management plans.
