Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards

Monday, September 17, 2007
(please note Monday meeting for this month)

Presentation by
Steve Lichten, President
ESCI EnviroServices, Inc.

The new federal Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards became effective June 8, 2007. They require the Department of Homeland Security to identify and regulate "high-risk chemical facilities." These facilities (which is "any establishment" - not just traditional chemical plants) may be subject to a security vulnerability assessment and site security plan requirement.
Any onsite amounts of carbon monoxide, fluorine, hydrochloric acid (anhydrous), hydrogen sulfide, nitric oxide, nitric trioxide, phosphorus, silicon tetrafluoride, sulfur dioxide (anhydrous) and others will subject your facility to the standards, as will certain amounts of acetone, propane, ammonium hydroxide and others.

Where does your facility fit in with these new standards?Come find out at this month's meeting and learn more about:

  • Chemicals of Interest List (Appendix A)
  • Top-Screen Analysis
  • Risk-based Performance Standards
  • Security Vulnerability Assessments
  • Site Security Plans

    Deadlines for registration and initial (Top Screen) risk assessment requirements will be finalized any day now.
