DHS calls for comprehensive approach to chemical security
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has released an interim final rule that imposes comprehensive federal security regulations
for high risk chemical facilities. This rule establishes risk-based performance standards for the security of our Nation’s chemical facilities.
It requires covered chemical facilities to prepare Security Vulnerability Assessments, which identify facility security vulnerabilities,
and to develop and implement Site Security Plans, which include measures that satisfy the identified risk-based performance standards.
