 | | Management should ensure that procedures have been developed and implemented to achieve compliance with the requirement to establish and maintain a 24 hour emergency response telephone number that has been staffed with personnel that are capable of providing comprehensive emergency response and incident mitigation information in a timely manner. |
 | | Comprehensive emergency response and incident mitigation information is more specific product based information and includes flash point, toxicity data, boiling point, vapor density, specific gravity, solubility, miscibility, water reactivity, flammable limits, odor, physical state (gas, liquid, or solid) and detailed medical information. |
 | | The capability to provide response information should be tested on a regular schedule, at least quarterly, to ensure that notification rosters and telephone numbers are accurate and current. |
