Abstract This AIChE/CCPS sponsored workshop brought together a panel of experts to discuss the development and communication of worst‐case scenarios for EPA's proposed Risk Management Program (RMP) Regulation. This paper presents specific issues raised during the Workshop, such as selecting release scenarios, performing hazard assessments, and communicating the results. However, the ultimate goal is chemical accident prevention and preparedness. Findings are not attributed to the individual experts but represent the view of the discussion chairman.
