Axiom Engineers℠ can prepare Risk Management Plans (RMP) and Process Safety Management (PSM) programs for clients who use certain hazardous materials in their processes. We specialize primarily in the development of these programs for facilities that use ammonia as a refrigerant in their cooling systems. We have also developed programs for other industries such as wineries and food processing plants. These facilities typically use chemicals, such as sulfur dioxide and chlorine.

The California Accidental Release Prevention Program is comparable to the Federal EPA’s Risk Management Plan; however, the CalARP Program contains additional requirements (such as seismic analysis and interaction with the local Administering Agency), and lower threshold quantities for various regulated substances. Many Industries are also covered by OSHA's Process Safety Management Programs. We can provide expert guidance and prepare documentation for the various Program requirements.
