Why HazPlan

Section 2701 of the California Fire Code mandates that whenever you have hazardous materials on hand, your operation needs a Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP) and a Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS). The HMMP must include a facility site plan that designates:

  1. Storage and use areas for each hazardous material on site. 
  2. Maximum amount of each material stored or used in each area. 
  3. Range of container sizes. 
  4. Locations of emergency isolation and mitigation valves and devices. 
  5. Product conveying piping containing liquids or gases, other than utility-owned fuel gas lines and low-pressure fuel gas lines. 
  6. On and off positions of valves for valves that are of the self-indicating type. 
  7. Storage plan showing the intended storage arrangement, including the location and dimensions of aisles.
  8. The location and type of emergency equipment. The plans shall be legible and drawn approximately to scale. 

The HMMP alone is a complicated document that necessitates the utmost degree of accuracy, but along with the HMMP, you need an HMIS, detailing the specifics of every hazardous material you have on hand.  Each entry in the HMIS must include:

  1. The name of the material's manufacturer. 
  2. Chemical name, trade names, hazardous ingredients. 
  3. Hazard classification. 
  4. MSDS or equivalent. 
  5. United Nations (UN), North America (NA) or the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) identification number. 
  6. Maximum quantity stored or used on-site at one time. 
  7. Storage conditions related to the storage type, temperature and pressure. 

What HazPlan can do for you:

Usually, operations that use hazardous materials outsource these documents to businesses like BenTyler Enterprises, the company behind HazPlan, because those consultants have the training, experience, and familiarity with the code and the nature of these reports to be able to complete them with the precision they require.  And it's a good thing that they do; the consequences for not having these reports on file can range from hefty fines to a full shutdown of an entire operation until everything has been brought up to code and all of the necessary documents have been properly filed.

Until now, filing these reports meant paying consultants upwards of $200/hr each time these reports needed to be filed—in most cases, this meant at least once per year.  When you consider that consultants might spend dozens of hours verifying everything at your site and drafting the documents, it's easy to see that this expense can, and often does, cost companies thousands of dollars every year.

With HazPlan, you can complete these documents yourself, quickly and easily. And because HazPlan was designed by a team of consultants who have been getting paid to file these reports for companies for decades, you can be sure that the reports that HazPlan generates for you are just as accurate as any report that our team would prepare by hand.
