Hazardous Materials Management System (HMMS)

Encompsol provides a state of the art, electronic, one-stop emergency planning system. This system allows industry and businesses that store, use or manufacture hazardous materials to meet existing and sometimes redundant requirements using a single internet application. The Hazardous Materials Management System (HMMS) is revolutionary in providing critical and life saving information to the first response community.

The HMMS provides a single ASP solution that saves storage space and the expense of filing and tracking mountains of redundant paperwork while still meeting all required regulations at the Federal, State and local level.

Simplify regulatory compliance

There are nine separate federal emergency response programs, with 526 pages of complex, redundant, and confusing regulations. A facility could have up to nine separate and confusing plans, or it could have just one. Encompsol's Hazardous Materials Management System has condensed these nine emergency response plans into just 27 pages of simple clear, and easy to understand requirements in a software tool available on CD or via the Internet *.

When a facility uses the HMMS software and submits the facility emergency plan, it fulfills all these nine federal regulatory mandates. Once the data is submitted, the HMMS files all of the required reports with all the points of compliance. The HMMS software is the model for an electronically integrated emergency response planning program for the entire country.

Save time and money by storing and filing electronically

Time is money, and your company is in business to deliver products and services, not to develop and maintain reports for regulatory agencies. Your resources can be devoted to the operation of your business, and less to emergency planning and preparedness and the associated clerical work.

Easily maintain compliance

What was once a confusing, paper and time-intensive task becomes something imminently manageable. Once the facility information has been entered into the computer using the HMMS software, updates and changes take just minutes.

If the facility makes physical changes, relocates chemical storage, changes processes, changes chemicals, this real-time information can be quickly updated and forwarded electronically to achieve compliance.

Generate a practical HazMat management plan

Facility owners and operators often confide that they don't actually use the several emergency plans they have had to prepare; they use a scaled down version. The HMMS software allows for a computerized (or hard copy) version of the REAL facility emergency plan.

Meet the needs of emergency responders

The HMMS actually asked firefighters and other emergency responders, regulators, facilities, and community stakeholders what they REALLY needed for effective emergency response. The HMMS software allows a facility to provide much more specific and detailed information, such as floor plans, roof plans, access hatches, chemical storage areas, shut-offs, fire walls, computerized chemical inventories and MSDS inventories. Even digital pictures of the facility can be put into the facility information. This information allows responders to most efficiently handle any facility contingency. The more efficient and timely the response, the more liability is minimized, and the less risk to firefighters, facility emergency teams and employees.

Protect the community

Community stakeholders in the HMMS have emphasized that the most important things to them is to know that facilities are in compliance with their emergency response plans, and that the emergency planning and response system has this facility emergency response information on hand and in a way that can be easily accessed and used. This information includes vulnerable areas that may need evacuation or shelter-in-place. It is in a community's best interest that the HMMS is implemented in the community, as its use inherently reduces hazards and risks from chemical spills and incidents by providing informed and efficient response and preparedness.

Make your HazMat plan available when it's needed most

Facility emergency response information, even when filed with the appropriate entities, is currently not available at the scene of an incident. The HMMS puts special laptop computers into the hands of on-scene coordinators so they can access the facility's emergency response information. In terms of responding to a chemical spill, imagine the difference between wondering what chemicals are inside a darkened building and looking at a digital picture or detailed facility site plan!

*61 FR 28642, June 1996, is the Federal Register notice for the One Plan Guidance. In this, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Labor, the Department of the Interior, and the Department of Transportation jointly issued a guidance on drafting an integrated contingency plan.
