OSHA memo on Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals and Covered Concentrations of Listed Appendix A Chemicals (same as EPA's 1% Rule)
PLEASE NOTE the LOI in which OSHA adopted EPA's 1% rule was thrown out by the courts so I am NOT 100% sure OSHA can use the 1% rule from EPA in their evaluations of what is a covered process/HHC.
This memorandum revises OSHA’s enforcement policy on the concentration of a chemical that must be present in a process for the purpose of determining whether the chemical is at or above the threshold quantity listed in Appendix A of the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals (PSM) standard (29 C.F.R. § 1910.119). The revision is in accordance with the President’s August 1, 2013, Executive Order 13650, Improving Chemical Facility Safety and Security. |
