Canada has a similar organization for chemical transportation emergencies, called TEAP (Transportation Emergency Assistance Plan). It is operated as a public service by the Canadian Chemical Producer s Association through the cooperation and aid of the member companies who operate the Regional Response Centers (RRCs) throughout Canada. They are also available on a 24-hour basis. However, you need to call the center in the Canadian region where you are located.

The Canadian Chemical Producers Association (CCPA) has the longest-standing Responsible Care verification program in the world. Its Responsible Care Management System Verification (MSV) preceded the U.S. MSV process, and the current ACC Responsible Care certification program. The CCPA Responsible Care verification process has three purposes ... 

Belanger, Jean was the President of the Canadian Chemical Producers Association from 1979 to 1996. Mr. Belanger currently serves as Chair of the Advisory Board to the Institute for Chemical Process and Environmental Technology of the National Research Council. In 1996, he was appointed an officer of the Order of Canada. Mr. Belanger was appointed to the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy in October 1996. Mr. Belanger is the Chair of the NRTEE s Ecological Fiscal Reform (EFR) and Energy Task Force. 

Perhaps not surprisingly because it developed Responsible Care , Canada has arguably the most comprehensive approach. The Canadian Chemical Producers Association (CCPA) has made the verification process mandatory once a member company has completed its three-year Responsible Care implementation process. The verification process involves a three-day visit by a team comprised of two industry experts, an activist (usually from the CCPA national advisory panel) and a citizen selected from the community around each visited site. Other than the newest member companies, all but two have been visited and these were scheduled for early 1999. The CCPA is now field-testing a second round of the verification process, which will be undertaken on the third anniversary of a company s successful completion of its first verification. 

In the period 1985—1988, the Association launched its Responsible Care program to improve the industry s responsible management of chemicals. Participation in the initiative, which is based on the work of the Canadian Chemical Producers Association, is a requirement of association membership. 

The Canadian Chemical Producers Association has prepared a checklist for determining when MOC is needed. It is reproduced below in Table 10.1 (with some minor editorial changes). If, during the change evaluation process, a positive answer to any of the 12 questions in the checklist is generated, then the proposed change probably requires the implementation of the MOC process.
