Hazardous waste generators are required under EPA and state regulations to maintain a written Emergency Response Plan (ERP). From spill response procedures to emergency contact documentation, compliance gaps can lead to citations, fines, and serious liability.

Why Every Hazardous Waste Generator Needs an Emergency Response Plan
If your facility generates, accumulates, or stores hazardous waste, you must have a documented plan that outlines:
24-hour emergency contacts
Spill and release procedures
Evacuation routes and muster points
Fire and explosion response
Hazardous material identification
Training and recordkeeping requirements
Regulatory notification procedures
Failure to maintain an up-to-date ERP is one of the most common compliance violations during environmental inspections.
This checklist was designed to help you identify missing components before regulators do. Have additional questions? Contact our experienced team at MLI Environmental today!
