Plan types
What we prepare
Each plan answers to a different regulator with a different renewal cycle. We handle all four so nothing lapses between them.
Transport Canada · TDG
Emergency Response Assistance Plan
ERAP & ERAP Online Services submissions
Required when you offer for transport or import dangerous goods above the quantities listed in the TDG regulations. The plan has to demonstrate a real, resourced capability, not a document exercise.
What is included
- Applicability assessment against your product and quantity profile
- Plan authoring, tiered response structure, and equipment listing
- Submission and correspondence through ERAP Online Services
- Named response capability, our crews on your plan
- Renewals, amendments, and required exercises
Site readiness
Emergency Response Plan
ERP for site preparedness and response activity
The plan your own people use. Written around your site layout, your muster points, your call-out list. Short enough to actually be read at 3 a.m.
What is included
- Hazard and consequence assessment for the site
- Roles, notification trees, and escalation thresholds
- Field-usable response procedures by scenario
- Tabletop and full-deployment exercises
Environment & Climate Change Canada
Environmental Emergency Plan
E2 Plans under the E2 Regulations
Triggered by holding a regulated substance at or above its threshold quantity. Both the notice of substances and the plan itself carry deadlines, and both need to stay current as inventory changes.
What is included
- Substance inventory screened against E2 thresholds
- Notice preparation and plan authoring
- Worst-case and alternative scenario modelling inputs
- Annual testing and five-year review cycle
British Columbia
Waste Contingency Plan
Required under B.C. waste regulations
Covers what happens when waste handling goes wrong: spills during transfer, storage failures, and off-spec loads, with the response and notification steps written out.
What is included
- Waste stream characterization and storage review
- Contingency procedures and notification requirements
- Coordination with your existing site ERP
Not sure which applies?
Send us your substance list and site inventory. We'll tell you what's triggered and what isn't.
Escalation
When does it leave your hands?
Most incidents never leave the first tier. Knowing where the thresholds sit, and who has to be notified at each one, is the difference between a contained event and a reportable one.
RRIGL operates across all three tiers, and writes the plans that define your thresholds.

Readiness programs
Three ways to work with us
Every engagement is scoped to your sites and substances, so pricing is quoted rather than listed.
One-time engagement
Plan Development
We write and submit the plan, then hand it over. Suited to a single site with a clear trigger.
- Applicability assessment
- Plan authoring
- Regulator submission
- Approval correspondence
Annual program
Readiness & Review
The plan stays current and tested, and our response capability is named on it. Nothing expires quietly.
- Everything in Plan Development
- Annual review & amendments
- Tabletop exercise each year
- Renewal tracking & reminders
- RRIGL named as response capability
Retained capability
Standby Agreement
Rates, site access, and safety paperwork settled in advance so nothing is negotiated mid-incident.
- Everything in Readiness & Review
- Pre-agreed rates & terms
- Site pre-familiarization visit
- Priority mobilization
- Optional staged equipment
How it works
How a plan gets built
Assess
Site walk, substance inventory, and a plain answer on what's actually triggered.
Develop
Plan authored against the regulation, with our response capability named where it helps.
Submit
Filed with the regulator; we carry the correspondence through to approval.
Maintain
Exercises, amendments, and renewals tracked so nothing expires quietly.
Emergency
If it's happening now,
call. Don't type.
Answered live by a hazmat coordinator, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Have this ready when you call
Where you are
Site name, address, or nearest highway marker.
What the product is
A shipping document or placard number is enough. If you don't know, say so.
Roughly how much
And whether it has reached water, soil, or a drain.
Whether anyone is exposed
Injuries or exposure change the dispatch immediately.
Not urgent? Planning, training, rentals, and standby agreements are handled through the booking form.
