The Short Version: We talk. You tell us what chemicals you have and how you operate, we figure out what’s required, and then we handle the reporting. Clear answers, honest guidance, and no pressure.
The path to Tier II compliance starts with a conversation. Whether it’s through email, a quick phone call, or a Teams meeting, we’ll take time to understand your facility, your chemical inventory, and how you’ve handled Tier II reporting in the past, if at all. Some clients come to us knowing they’ve filed before, others aren’t even sure if they’re required to file. Both are completely normal.
We work with single-site facilities and multi-state operations, first-time filers and long-time reporters. Some businesses just want to make sure they’re meeting the federal minimum. Others need help navigating state-specific rules, local fire department submissions, or changes in reporting thresholds. And some just want a professional to double-check everything so there are no surprises. Wherever you’re starting, we’ll help you figure out exactly what applies to you, and just as importantly, what doesn’t.
Once we understand your situation, we’ll give you a clear scope of work, a realistic timeline, and a straightforward price. No unnecessary steps, no confusing paperwork, and no pressure. Just a simple, reliable path to getting your Tier II reporting handled correctly and on time.
The Short Version: How this goes depends on how organized your information is. If you’ve got solid chemical inventories and up-to-date Safety Data Sheets, we may be able to handle your Tier II reporting without a site visit. If things are unclear or undocumented, we’re happy to come out and help.
Once we get started, the first thing we look at is what documentation you already have. If you’ve got a detailed chemical inventory, current Safety Data Sheets, and a good handle on what’s stored on site, we can often complete your Tier II reporting remotely. That’s the fastest, least disruptive option, and it works well for many facilities.
On the other hand, some facilities aren’t totally sure what chemicals are on site, how they’re stored, or what needs to be reported. That’s more common than people like to admit, and it’s not a problem. In those cases, having one of our consultants come out to walk the site can actually save time and prevent mistakes.
If a site visit makes sense, we’ll schedule it around your operations. You’ll have an experienced consultant on site who knows what to look for, asks the right questions, and works efficiently. Whether we handle things remotely or in person, the goal is the same: accurate Tier II reporting with no guesswork and no unnecessary hassle for your team.
The Short Version: We prepare your Tier II report carefully, submit it to the correct agencies, and confirm it’s been filed correctly and on time.
Once we’ve gathered and reviewed your information, we prepare your Tier II report based on your actual chemical inventory, storage conditions, and reporting thresholds. We don’t rush through this or rely on assumptions. Every report is reviewed internally to make sure it aligns with federal, state, and local requirements before anything is submitted.
We handle the full submission process, including filing through the appropriate state Tier II system and submitting to required local agencies, such as fire departments or emergency planning committees. You don’t have to juggle multiple portals, deadlines, or confirmation emails. We make sure everything goes where it needs to go.
After submission, we provide confirmation that your Tier II report has been filed successfully and keep clear records on file. We’ll also flag anything that could cause issues down the road, like missing SDSs, threshold changes, or chemicals that may trigger additional requirements. The goal isn’t just to file the report, it’s to give you confidence that it was done right and that you’re in a good position if questions ever come up.
The Short Version: Some clients just need their Tier II report filed once a year. Others rely on us to stay on top of it long term. Either way, we’re here with reminders, updates, and reporting support when you need it.
Once your Tier II report is filed, the work doesn’t necessarily stop there. Chemical inventories change, thresholds can shift, and reporting systems get updated. We help clients stay ahead of those changes so there are no surprises when the next reporting deadline rolls around.
For clients who want a hands-off approach, we can manage Tier II reporting year after year, including tracking deadlines, reviewing inventory changes, and preparing and submitting updated reports annually. For others, we act as backup support, stepping in when something changes or when they just want a professional double-check.
Our team keeps an eye on regulatory updates, state system changes, and reporting nuances that can trip people up. If a fire department, state agency, or emergency planning committee ever has questions about your submission, we’ll help you respond clearly and confidently. And if your facility grows or changes in a way that triggers new requirements, we’ll flag that early.
Whether you want to handle Tier II reporting internally or outsource it entirely, RMA is here to make sure your reporting stays accurate, timely, and defensible year after year.
