PSM / CalARP Programs

​The California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) program was implemented on January 1, 1997 and replaced the California Risk Management and Prevention Program (RMPP). The purpose of the CalARP programs are to prevent accidental releases of substances that can cause serious harm to the public and the environment, to minimize the damage if releases do occur, and to satisfy community right-to-know laws.  At this link you will find the CalARP FAQ sheet.

Ammonia Refrigeration Training Solutions provides comprehensive CalARP and PSM (Process Safety Management) trainings several times a year in Bakersfield, California.  The threshold for CalARP and ammonia is just over 500 pounds.  This essential means every ammonia refrigeration system in the state is subject to the state EPA and CUPA (Certified Unified Program Agency) requirements.
