Ohio Admin. Code 3745-52-256 - Arrangements with local authorities - preparedness, prevention, and emergency procedures for large quantity generators
(A)
The large
quantity generator shall attempt to make arrangements with the local police
department, fire department, other emergency response teams, emergency response
contractors, equipment suppliers, and local hospitals, taking into account the
types and quantities of hazardous wastes handled at the facility. Arrangements
may be made with the local emergency planning committee, if this organization
is determined to be the appropriate organization with which to make
arrangements.
(1)
A large quantity generator attempting to make
arrangements with the local fire department shall determine the potential need
for the services of the local police department, other emergency response
teams, emergency response contractors, equipment suppliers, and local
hospitals.
(2)
As part of this coordination, the large quantity
generator shall attempt to make arrangements, as necessary, to familiarize
these organizations with the layout of the facility, the properties of the
hazardous waste handled at the facility and associated hazards, places where
personnel would normally be working, entrances to roads inside the facility,
and possible evacuation routes, as well as the types of injuries or illnesses
which could result from fires, explosions, or releases at the
facility.
(3)
Where more than one police department or fire
department might respond to an emergency, the large quantity generator shall
attempt to make arrangements designating primary emergency authority to a
specific fire department or police department, and arrangements with any others
to provide support to the primary emergency authority.
(B)
The
large quantity generator shall maintain records documenting the arrangements
with the local fire department as well as any other organization necessary to
respond to an emergency. This documentation shall include documentation in the
operating record that either confirms such arrangements actively exist or, in
cases where no arrangements exist, confirms that attempts to make such
arrangements were made.
(C)
A facility possessing twenty-four-hour response
capabilities may seek a waiver from the authority having jurisdiction over the
fire code within the facility's state or locality as far as needing to make
arrangements with the local fire department as well as any other organization
necessary to respond to an emergency, provided that the waiver is documented in
the operating record.
