[Sqg-program] Fw: COUNTY HAZARD ANALYSIS ORDINANCE?

[Bob.Tollise at mymanatee.org]

Partner "Out Reach" for assistance, 

Manatee County wants to increase the safety of our 1st Responders when 
they respond to a business  or industrial facility (small or large size) 
by considering a HAZARD ANALYSIS ORDINANCE. 

This would be a "preplanning tool" which will allow county officials and 
Fire departments the ability to "track" all the hazardous materials 
"purchased" , "used" , and "discarded" by each and every business.  We 
also, would like to "track" the training levels of employees who use these 
materials, and "open the door" for inspections.

My question is do you have any knowledge of any other Florida County that 
does this?  I realize that our large EHS facilities (60+ in Manatee 
County) are under the umbrella of the SARA tier -  two reporting 
requirements but we have "hundreds" of smaller businesses that are under 
the radar!  Your thoughts?
