EPA recently announced publication of the “Safer Communities by Chemical Accident Prevention Rule,” which is designed to protect at-risk communities from chemical accidents, especially those located near facilities in industry sectors with high accident rates. The rule includes EPA’s most protective safety provisions for chemical facilities in history. The final rule includes revisions to improve chemical process safety to assist in planning, preparing for, and responding to accidents, and to increase public awareness of chemical hazards at regulated sources. EPA’s accompanying public data tool also allows people to access information about industrial facilities in nearby communities.
