When Is CERS Due in Orange County?
JANUARY 1
MARCH 1
Annual HMBP reporting window opens.
Annual HMBP submission or certification must be completed by the end of the reporting window.
For facilities regulated under Orange County Environmental Health’s HMBP program, annual CERS/HMBP submission or certification is required between January 1 and March 1 each year. Regulatory responsibility can vary by facility and location, so JG Hazmat confirms the applicable jurisdiction during screening.
Plan Before the Filing Window
You do not need to wait until January to start getting ready. JG Hazmat can review your facility for service fit and begin gathering the information needed before the annual reporting period.
Preparing early does not change the applicable reporting window. The annual submission or certification is completed during the required filing period.

CERS Not Accepted or Inspection Corrections?
If an inspection identifies CERS/HMBP deficiencies, start with a correction review. JG Hazmat will determine whether the requested work falls within its services. If the complete inspection report or correction notice is needed to determine scope, we will request it by email.

Is My Facility a Good Fit?
The standard annual service works best for businesses with an established CERS account, usable existing HMBP information, and relatively straightforward reporting needs.
• Small Manufacturers
• Warehouses & Distribution
• Automotive & Service Businesses
• Other Straightforward HMBP Facilities
If the existing information is substantially outdated, significant changes have occurred, or more extensive verification is needed, JG Hazmat will identify that during the initial review.
Not sure? That is what the initial review is for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do CERS myself?

What if chemicals or facility information change after the annual filing?
Certain changes can require the HMBP to be updated outside the annual reporting period. If your facility, inventory, ownership, or operations have changed, JG Hazmat can review whether the work still fits the standard service or needs a different scope.
Can JG Hazmat help with inspection corrections?
