In April 2013, about 30 tons of ammonium nitrate fertiliser
detonated during a fire at a facility in West, Texas, killing at
least 14 people and damaging nearby schools, homes, and a nursing
home. This incident raised concerns about the risks posed by
similar facilities across the country. The Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) play a central role in protecting workers and
communities from chemical accidents, and the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) administers a chemical facility security program.
This book addresses how many facilities have ammonium nitrate in
the United States; how OSHA and EPA regulate and oversee facilities
that have ammonium nitrate; and what approaches selected other
countries have adopted for regulating and overseeing facilities
with ammonium nitrate. It also focuses on some of the federal
regulatory programs overseeing storage of ammonium nitrate and
anhydrous ammonia by retailers.
