Understanding Hazmat vs. Biohazard: What’s the Difference? When it comes to hazardous materials, the terms "hazmat" and "biohazard" are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different categories of risks. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for safety, compliance, and effective cleanup.

Friendly Reminder regarding the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program! Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) created the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program, which requires owners and operators of certain facilities that manufacture, import, process, or otherwise use certain toxic chemicals to report annually their releases of these chemicals to each environmental medium. The TRI Program reporting criteria include: a) Federal facilities or facilities with primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code covered by the TRI Program; b) Facilities with 10 or more full-time employees; c) Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use TRI-listed chemicals such as formaldehyde and lead; and d) Facilities that exceed any of the thresholds for a chemical or chemical category. For example, the thresholds for formaldehyde include 25,000 pounds manufactured or processed, or 10,000 pounds otherwise used; and the thresholds for lead include 10 pounds manufactured, processed, or otherwise used. Facilities that meet all TRI Program reporting criteria must submit TRI Form R for each TRI-listed chemical above reporting threshold to both EPA and the state in which the facility is located. If your facility meets the TRI Program reporting requirements, the TRI forms will need to be submitted by July 1, 2024, for the 2023 reporting year. Don't leave your environmental compliance to chance. Partner with Citadel EHS for peace of mind and professional support.

50 years ago this month the former chemical plant, Nypro, exploded. I have quite vivid memories of this as a child and the manner in which the chemical cloud was shown on the local weather updates. My late grandparents lived in Whitton, on the banks of the River Humber, almost 7 miles away and the force of the explosion smashed glass in windows. The excerpt below, courtesy of Wikipedia, illustrates the lessons learned. RIP to those poor souls who lost their lives 😢 Flixborough led to a widespread public outcry over process safety. Together with the passage of the UK Health and Safety at Work Act in the same year, it led to (and is often quoted in justification of) a more systematic approach to process safety in UK process industries. UK government regulation of plant processing or storing large inventories of hazardous materials is currently under the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1999 (COMAH). In Europe, the Flixborough disaster and the Seveso disaster in 1976 led to development of the Seveso Directive in 1982 (currently Directive 2012/18/EU issued in 2012).
