MMS requires that
all Fires/Explosions be reported. Effective July 17, 2006, MMS revised
the regulations for incident reporting. This regulation did not change
the reporting requirement for Fires/Explosions. MMS
classifies
Fires/Explosions by the dollar amount of property damage caused by the
incident. Classification categories are:
 |
Catastrophic -
destruction of a facility worth greater than $10 million |
|
|
Major - property
damage greater than $1 million |
|
|
Minor - property
damage greater than $25,000 but less than or equal $1 million |
|
|
Incidental -
property damage equal to or less than $25,000
