Project 3 –

2018 Fall Term Project Three Instructions and Scenario

You are to assume the role of the emergency coordinator, safety officer, or loss prevention manager of a chemical plant responsible for the safety and health of employees and the control of hazardous materials and wastes in the facility and the local community. You are to develop two emergency plans for the industrial facility as set forth in the following scenario. One plan must be an OSHA compliant Emergency Action Plan for the facility and the second one must be an EPA compliant Contingency Plan for the facility and its surrounding community. There are specific OSHA and EPA regulations that are found in the respective Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for each of the agencies. Part of the exercise for this project is for you to show that you can identify and use the appropriate regulations from the CFR. Since some of the requirements in these regulations are duplicative between the agencies, you may choose to develop and generate one comprehensive plan that contains the required elements for each agency, as long as you comply with all of the elements found in both of the agency requirements.

It is expected that your plan(s) contain a cover page, a table of contents tied into page numbering, the body of your plan(s), and a bibliography. You will be provided with drawings of the plant site and surrounding areas and a building plan for the facility. Your plan(s) must address the hazards of the facility’s site and building structure.

Since this is a hypothetical scenario, you may use your imagination to name the facility, the staff members playing a role in the plan, and any other information that is not formally identified. The chemical’s involved are specifically identified and their hazards must be identified and addressed.

Good luck, let your imagination take you where it may. There are no restrictions on the length of your submission. But to get full credit, you must make sure you address each element of the OSHA Emergency Action Plan requirements and the EPA Contingency Plan requirements. Please submit your completed paper in MS Word format and place it in your assignment folder.

Scenario

Your facility is a chemical plant that manufactures a viscous, flammable, toxic end product called Methyl-Ethyl-Peanut Butter. Raw materials are shipped in, mixed into the final product, and shipped out to customers via multiple modes of transportation. The plant is located on a site in a light industrial park adjacent to an Interstate Highway and is surrounded in the park by similar facilities. Outside the park are private, residential buildings and a town with multiple commercial properties. The town has a Level One Trauma hospital and care facility along with a paid fire department including a hazardous material response unit. The town also has a paid local police department supported by a local State Police substation. Please address the hazards of these conditions and the use of these outside resources. If you have questions, please contact me, but you are basically on your own.
