The Risk Management Program is implemented by the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER). The program aims to reduce accidents at RMP facilities, which is a strategic measure under Goal 3 of EPA's 2011-2015 Strategic Plan. EPA and state and local implementing agencies conduct inspections at RMP facilities.1 Inspections are intended to determine compliance with RMP regulatory requirements. Because resources for conducting inspections are limited, within the past few years EPA has begun focusing more (but not exclusively) on high risk facilities for RMP inspections.
