What is CEPA E2?

Under CEPA’s Environmental Emergency (E2) Regulations, regulated facilities must identify hazardous substances, maintain site-specific emergency plans, keep training and exercise records, and be ready to demonstrate compliance to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). Failure to comply exposes organizations to operational risk, regulatory penalties, and reputational harm.

What this means for you: if your site handles regulated substances above threshold quantities, you need a current environmental emergency (E2) plan, clear roles and communications, documented training/exercises, and a reliable process for audit readiness—including SWIM reporting.

How Behr Helps

  • We review your existing plans, training records, and documentation to identify CEPA E2 audit gaps, prioritize fixes, and map a practical path to compliance.

  • We co-develop site-specific E2 plans that meet regulatory requirements and reflect local conditions—so your documentation and your operations line up.

  • From briefings to tabletops and drills, we deliver E2 training programs and facilitator-led exercises that build capability and yield actionable after-action items.

  • We organize templates and logs for audit documentation—plan revisions, training sign-ins, exercise reports, corrective actions—so everything is easy to find.

  • We help set up, maintain, and troubleshoot your SWIM compliance workflows for timely, accurate submissions and a clean audit trail.
