Project Spotlight

Process Safety Management

Hygieneering was recently awarded a project at a meat packing company to develop a full Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 29 CFR 1910.119 Process Safety Management (PSM) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 CFR part 68 Risk Management Plan (RMP) program. This meat packing company has a refrigeration system that contains more than 10,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia and must comply with OSHA’s Process Safety Management and EPA’s Risk Management Plan regulations. Our services to this client included but were not limited to:


  • Developing a site-specific PSM/RMP Management program that covered the elements of PSM/RMP
  • Assistance in the development and compilation of process safety information (PSI) for the process
  • Conducting a process hazard analysis (PHA)

Compliance Reminders

DOT Registrations: Due June 30th


As a reminder, all companies operating commercial motor vehicles that weigh more than 10,000 pounds are required to register with the Department of Transportation DOT by June 30th. Failure to register by this deadline can result in significant fines and penalties.


Registering with the DOT not only ensures compliance with federal regulations, but it also promotes safety on our nation's highways. By registering, your company is committing to maintaining safe vehicles, ensuring proper driver qualifications, and complying with hours-of-service regulations.


If you haven't already, take the necessary steps to register with the DOT before the June 30th deadline. Our team is available to assist with any questions or concerns you may have during this process.


Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) Form R Reporting: Due July 1


The Toxic Release Inventory Form R Report is a document mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency EPA to monitor and regulate the release of toxic chemicals by industrial facilities. It requires companies to report their annual chemical releases, waste management, and pollution prevention activities. The information gathered in the Form R Report is used by the EPA to identify trends, assess risks to human health and the environment, and develop regulations to protect our communities.


Submitting an accurate and timely Form R Report is crucial for companies to avoid penalties and fines, maintain compliance with environmental regulations, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. It also serves as an opportunity for companies to assess their chemical use and waste management practices, identify areas for improvement, and implement strategies to reduce their environmental impact.


Hygieneering understands the importance of environmental compliance and the role that the Toxic Release Inventory Form R Report plays in achieving it. We offer comprehensive services to assist companies in preparing and submitting their Form R Report, ensuring that they meet all regulatory requirements and deadlines. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help your company stay compliant and sustainable.
