Session: Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP) Analysis in New Risk Management Plan (RMP) Rule

The newly revised US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk Management Plan (RMP) Rule requires owners of stationary sources to perform a Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) that addresses any gaps in safety between the codes, standards, or practices to which the process was designed and constructed versus the most current version of applicable codes, standards, or practices. This session welcomes practicable methods for integrating recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices (RAGAGEP) reviews into the PHA process including: • Inventorying current standards • Identifying safety gaps between original design standards and revised RAGAGEP • Categorizing changes as safety-related • Justifying adoption or rejection of changes to the existing processes • Case studies for performing practicability methods in managing safety gaps Prospective authors: Consider if your paper is best aligned to the PPSS “Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP) Analysis in New Risk Management Plan (RMP) Rule” session, the CCPS “Continuous Improvement with RAGAGEP - Managing Changing Standards and Best Practices” session, or the PSM2 RAGAGEP “Interpretation and Implementation” session, and submit your abstract accordingly.
