Agriculture Retail Facility Compliance Assessment Tool

Asmark Institute Releases Complimentary Tool to Help Facilities Assess Overall Compliance

The Ohio AgriBusiness Association, along with national partner associations The Fertilizer Institute and Agricultural Retailers Association, share the public’s concerns about safe operations of fertilizer facilities.

The West, Texas agriculture retail facility explosion has affected the consciousness of Americans, and public support is high for increased facility inspections, transparency and demonstrated community safety.

The Asmark Institute has taken proactive measures to help the industry by developing an online Compliance Assessment Tool to help agriculture retail facilities control risk and ensure compliance with existing regulations and best management practices.

The Compliance Assessment Tool is available free of charge at: https://www.asmark.org/ComplianceAssessmentTool.  

The Asmark Institute advises that every effort has been made to ensure that the information in the Compliance Assessment Tool is current and accurate. However, it is the responsibility of each facility owner and operator to determine the steps they need to take to assure they are complying with the law and regulations.

We appreciate the Asmark Institute making this tool available to the industry. We encourage our members to help increase industry awareness of the availability of this and other potential regulatory compliance tools.
