- DHS and Chemical Sector Coordinating Council Sponsor Chemical
Sector Security Summit |
|
The 2007 Chemical Sector
Security Summit was held in Falls Church, Virginia on June
11-13. The Summit was convened by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) and the Chemical Sector Coordinating
Council to present the latest information regarding chemical
security, infrastructure protection and the impact of the new
Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS).
The Chemical Sector Coordinating Council (CSCC) is a
coordinating body comprising eighteen trade associations that
represent chemical sector businesses engaged in the production
of chemicals, as well as those engaged in the storage,
transportation, delivery and use of chemicals. The CSCC is
recognized by DHS and other federal agencies as the initial
point of contact with the chemical sector for security purposes.
The three day agenda featured
Michael Chertoff, Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland
Security as the keynote speaker. Also provided were
several workshops on the regulations including CSAT Top-Screen
demos, CSAT Overview, Security Awareness Training, SVA Overview
- Concepts and Comparisons, Site Security Plans, and Risk Based
Performance Standards. The conference was well attended by
over 300 participants and had a wait list of many more who
wanted to attend.
