Chemical Safety Compliance: Lessons from Recent EPA Enforcement Actions
Recent EPA enforcement actions highlight critical chemical safety management gaps and emphasize the importance of comprehensive RMP compliance.
In a significant move underscoring its commitment to chemical safety, the EPA recently finalized settlements with ten facilities across California for violations related to chemical safety regulations. The April 22, 2025, enforcement actions, resulting in penalties totaling more than $170,000, serve as a stark reminder of the agency’s intensifying focus on compliance with the Risk Management Program (RMP) under the Clean Air Act.
