REGULATORY BACKGROUND
Chemical Inventory: Title 42,
Section 11022 of the United States Code and Chapter 6.95 of
the California Health and Safety code require the reporting
of hazardous materials when used or stored in certain quantities.
These regulations require that businesses within LAFD's jurisdiction
complete and file a chemical inventory to disclose hazardous
materials stored, used or handled on site. This disclosure
information assists emergency responders in planning for and
handling emergencies which involve hazardous materials. The
program objective is to safeguard lives and minimize property
loss.
Business Emergency Plan (BEP):
Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety code also
requires that businesses which use, store or handle hazardous
materials file an emergency plan indicating their preparations
for and actions in an emergency. The information is also shared
with emergency response personnel to mitigate a release and
to minimize harm or damage to human life, the environment,
and property.
IMPORTANT: The reporting quantities
for Los Angeles businesses are different from the State regulations
and include lower thresholds for many chemicals. Refer to
"Hazardous
Material Categories and Disclosure Amounts".
