Federal, State and local laws, require that a hazardous materials
Business Emergency Plan (BEP) must be submitted by any business that use, store and handle a
hazardous material or a mixture containing a hazardous material in quantities
equal to, or greater than, 500 pounds or 55 gallons; 200 cubic feet for
compressed gases; or 10 pounds or more of organic peroxides, carcinogens,
radioactive or highly toxic materials, or class 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 explosives.
In the City of Riverside, the Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for
administrating the BEP program. Beginning January 1, 2010, the City of Riverside
will be requiring all businesses to submit a new or update an existing annual
Business Emergency Plan electronically. This will be pursuant to the upcoming
State mandate that will require all businesses to submit their BEP’s
electronically. In order to submit online you must request a username and
password by submitting the completed login request form by clicking on the
Business Emergency Plans Electronic Filing icon below. Within a few days you
will receive an email with your username and password. Each facility is also
required to pay an annual BEP fee. The yearly permit will be mailed when an
approved plan or update has been submitted and the fee paid.
If you need assistance with the BEP program or have any questions,
please contact the City of Riverside Fire Department at (951) 826-5737. |
