This project was conducted alongside the Massachusetts Office of Technical Assistance and Technology (OTA) in order to evaluate how Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) filers are preparing for climate change. Through this data collection, OTA can improve their trainings so they are better adapted to what companies need. We found that many companies are complying and keeping up to date on regulations, and with emergency preparedness planning. However, many TURA filers are not accounting for or are unaware of climate change issues, which may lead specific facilities at risk to climate change based chemical accidents. Through improved OTA trainings, TURA filers can keep their facilities and the surrounding communities safer.
