The June 2007 issue of Chemical Processing magazine
will feature an article on the new Chemical Facility
Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS)
which goes into effect June 8, 2007. The article was
authored by David A. Moore, President & CEO of AcuTech and
Dorothy Kellogg, Senior Consultant for AcuTech. The
article discusses the intention of the new standard, facilities
affected, key requirements as well as the national and
international implications the standard will have.
AcuTech
provided subject matter expertise to the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) in the development of the new CFATS
Risk-Based Performance Standards, inspector training, as well as
the CSAT Top-Screen, SVA and SSP. AcuTech was a prime
contractor for the CCPS Guidelines document for analyzing
security vulnerability at chemical sites. In addition, AcuTech
developed the API/NPRA SVA Methodology, and has been selected as
the exclusive API provider for SVA and Facility Security Officer
(FSO) training.
AcuTech
served as the petroleum, chemical, and LNG industry sector
coordinator for the Risk Analysis and Management for Critical
Asset Protection (RAMCAP) project for the US Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). This national effort is developing
uniform vulnerability assessment guidance and formed the basis
for CFATS Top Screen and SVA.
