  1. Chemical Plant Security NACD OPSEM September 2006 Donna Kasuska John Kimball SafetyBridge, Inc. Downingtown, Pennsylvania

  2. Chemical Plant Security Will there be Legislation? What will be required? How can plants achieve compliance?

  3. Chemical Security Legislation Proposed Requirements • Inherently Safer Technologies • Vulnerability Assessments • Site Security Plans • Transportation Security • Employee and Contractor Screening • Criminal Penalties for Non-compliance

  4. Inherently Safer Technologies • Minimize • Substitute • Attenuate • Simplify

  5. Inherent Safety - Minimize • Use smaller quantities • Watch out for increased handling risk • Divide your inventory • Just-in-time supply • Eliminate surge capacity and intermediate storage • Vapor vs. liquid inventory

  6. Inherent Safety - Substitution Replace a material with a less hazardous one • Reaction chemistry • Solvents • Materials of Construction • Heat Transfer media

  7. Inherent Safety - Attenuation Use materials under less hazardous conditions • Dilution • Lower temperature (refrigeration) • Lower pressure • Secondary containment

  8. Inherent Safety - Simplify Design to eliminate unnecessary complexity, thus reducing opportunity for error and mis-operation • Containment within process vessels • Liquid transfer systems • Distributed Control Systems • Fail-safe valves • Separation of process steps

  9. Site Security Plans • Physical Security • Information, Computer & Network Security • Administrative Security Controls • Personnel Security and Security Personnel • Security Investigations • Emergency Response and Crisis Management

  10. Site Security Plans Physical Security • Access Control • Perimeter Protection • Security Officers • Backup Systems

  11. Site Security Plans Information, Computer & Network Security • Operations Security • Document Security • Spoken-word Security • Computer and Network Security

  12. Site Security Plans Personnel Security and Security Personnel • Hiring and Employment Termination Practices • Personnel and Visitor Screening • Security Officers • Workplace Violence Prevention and Response • Training and Security Awareness

  13. Site Security Plans Security Investigations • Employee awareness • Types of security incidents • Documentation

  14. Site Security Plans Emergency Response and Crisis Management • Written Procedures & Practice Drills • Headcount procedure • Crisis Communication System • Preservation of evidence

  15. Security Program Goal: Synthesize regulatory-driven policies and procedures with Best Practices security, supported (operated) by the human factor. Objective: A unified, integrated program of protection.

  16. Protection against? • Threats: • Inside • Outside • Adjacent

  17. Events: • Natural • Unnatural (Technological) • Accidental • Deliberate • Internal • External • Malicious • Profit • - Rapid Onset • Slow developing (event and/or effects)

  18. Regulatory-Driven • OSHA, EPA, TSA(DOT) • State and local • Industry-specific

  19. Programs • EHS • Security • HR (employee screening) • Engineering (Process Safety) • Transportation • I.T. • Emergency management • Facilities

  20. Principles • Hardening of facility and business process • Active risk measurement/Threat Assessment process • Acceptance of Risk

  21. Is this Critical Infrastructure Protection under another name?

  22. Resources • American Chemistry Council • American Society for Industrial Security • Chemical Manufacturers Association • Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) • National Association of Chemical Distributors • National Tank Truck carriers • Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association
