Emergency Planning and Response

- An emergency action plan for the entire plant must be developed and implemented in accordance with the provisions of other OSHA rules (29 CFR 1910.38(a)).
- The emergency action plan must include procedures for handling small releases of hazardous chemicals.
- Employers covered under PSM also may be subject to the OSHA hazardous waste and emergency response regulation (29 CFR 1910.120(a), (p), and (q).
