Comments from the BlueGreen Alliance on the Proposed Amendments to the California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) Regulations
December 16, 2025
- Increase the threat from highly hazardous materials by changing what is defined as highly hazardous;
- Reduce safety procedures designed to minimize the dangers in this inherently hazardous industry by limiting the definition of what constitutes a major change;
- Weaken solutions to safety problems by diminishing the consideration of actions that eliminate instead of just reducing the safety and health hazard; and
- Reduce the power of operating and turnaround workers and their unions to keep themselves and the surrounding communities safe.”
