Across the nation, there have been releases of hazardous materials that have endangered adjacent properties, the public, and responding firefighters, as well as employees. However, in Denver by adhering to national and local standards, we have reduced the incidence of such releases to just a few isolated incidents.
If your company or organization is involved in the use, storage or manufacture of hazardous materials, please contact us to obtain a permit and ensure you are in compliance with both federal and Denver Fire Department regulations.
The Hazardous Materials unit in Fire Prevention manages permits related to hazardous materials and compliance with specific code requirements for hazardous materials. This is to your benefit for the safety of your employees and the surrounding neighborhood.
Your permit application will include the following two requirements:
1. HMIS (Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement)
SARA Title III requires submittal of an HMIS form annually. Below are downloadable forms in Microsoft Excel format that allow you to list the materials and quantities and locations at your business. Please send the completed spreadsheet to Lieutenant Roy Johnson at the Hazardous Materials Unit at DFDHMIS@denvergov.org . If you have any questions about using the spreadsheet please contact Brad Emerick at 720-865-2964.
2. HMMP (Hazardous Materials Management Plan)
This is a facility site plan designating locations and amounts of hazards and locations and types of emergency equipment. See your permit application for details. The HMMP does not need to be submitted annually but a new plan should be submitted when there are changes.
Please read this memorandum about Hazardous Materials Reporting and Permits in Denver.
