| DHS and Chemical Sector Coordinating Council Sponsor 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.
