What is a Risk Management and Monitoring Program (RMMP)?
An RMMP is a legally required compliance framework for businesses in Victoria that conduct activities under an EPA Victoria Operative Licence due to potential environmental or human health risks due to pollution or waste.
The RMMP document assists businesses to:
- Identify, assess, and mitigate environmental risks
- Implement governance, risk, and compliance measures
- Monitor their impact and improve environmental performance over time
Under EPA Victoria regulations, businesses must develop and maintain an RMMP that includes:
- Environmental policies & risk management plans
- Site-specific risk assessments & monitoring programs
- Regulatory compliance documentation
Our RMMP solutions help businesses meet their legal obligations while minimising risks efficiently and affordably.
