Emergency Response Planning - What you need to know to prepare an Integrated Contingency Plan

On the federal level alone, requirements originating from the Oil Pollution Act (OPA-90), Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Clean Air Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), MSHA, the USDOT and the US Coast Guard can lead to as many as nine separate facility response plans. In recent years, the federal government has offered a format for combining planning criteria into one effective document that will be readily accepted by all regulatory agencies involved: the "One Plan". This avoids unnecessary duplication of effort and offers significant time, paper, and financial savings. It also promotes an all-incident approach to response planning across a facility. Integrated Contingency Planning - The One Plan Approach to Facility Response Plans. Although facilities are under no obligation to change existing plans to the One Plan format or to use the NRT format for new plans, there are many benefits to consilidating all of your emergency plans into a single comprehensive document. Some of the facilities that would likely benefit from this training:
