Scope questions

Industry alone does not establish legal applicability. Confirm location, activities, role, data and relevant thresholds.

  • Where does the organization operate, and which regulator, license, permit or contract governs the activity?
  • Which business activities, data types and organization roles does the document describe?
  • Do the relevant thresholds or exceptions change which requirements apply?

Unknown answers stay unresolved. Document detection does not answer these questions for you.

A fictional example to explore

This short policy outline demonstrates the document's structure and research questions. It is a navigation example; scans for this profile are not available yet.

PDF pages are counted exactly. DOCX and TXT use the disclosed word-count estimate, so the same policy can have different billable page counts.

Regulations and frameworks to explore

OSHA Process Safety Management

29 CFR 1910.119

For processes meeting OSHA 1910.119 chemical or flammable-material quantity conditions, subject to exclusions and applicable state-plan rules. Assess the process boundary and Appendix A substances rather than the industry name. PSM and EPA RMP have separate scope tests; one program does not automatically satisfy the other.

Jurisdictions: US-FEDERAL

Research applicability questions
  • Which connected or nearby process vessels contain covered chemicals or flammable materials, and in what quantities?
  • Do retail, fuel-use, remote-facility or other exclusions and state-plan variations affect this process?

EPA Risk Management Program

40 CFR Part 68

For stationary-source processes containing regulated substances above the applicable 40 CFR Part 68 thresholds. Determine substance, process, exceptions and program level separately from OSHA PSM. Current regulatory text and compliance dates govern; a 2026 EPA reconsideration proposal must not be treated as an effective replacement rule.

Jurisdictions: US-FEDERAL

Research applicability questions
  • Does a stationary-source process contain a listed regulated substance above its threshold, after applicable exceptions?
  • Which RMP program level and prevention/emergency-response duties apply to this process?

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure plans

40 CFR Part 112

For non-transportation-related facilities within 40 CFR Part 112 oil-capacity and discharge-potential conditions. Evaluate facility-wide storage and the potential to discharge to covered waters. A Tier I template is limited to qualified facilities, including container-size and spill-history conditions; state professional-engineer rules can affect self-certification.

Jurisdictions: US-FEDERAL

Research applicability questions
  • What aboveground/buried oil capacities and discharge pathways place the facility within Part 112?
  • Does it meet qualified-facility, container-size and spill-history conditions for Tier I self-certification?

OSHA emergency action plans

29 CFR 1910.38

An emergency action plan is required when another OSHA standard triggers 29 CFR 1910.38. Confirm the triggering standard and state-plan coverage. A plan must generally be written and available to employees; employers with ten or fewer employees may communicate it orally. Do not infer a written-plan violation solely from the industry label.

Jurisdictions: US-FEDERAL

Research applicability questions
  • Which OSHA standard requires an emergency action plan for this workplace?
  • How many employees does the employer have, and does the ten-or-fewer oral-plan exception apply?
  • Does an OSHA-approved state plan apply, and does it impose different workplace requirements?
  • What work activities, hazards and other OSHA standards trigger this workplace emergency-plan duty?
