2020 RETA Breeze Sept-Oct

2020 VIRTUAL CONFERENCE PREVIEW

CHEMICAL FACILITY ANTI-TERRORISM STANDARD (CFATS)

A great topic. This regulation has been under emphasized since its initial rollout. The paper outlines a step by step process to comply with this regulation. This includes a great guide to getting started. Concepts are confirmed through references. If your facility has already attempted to comply, this presentation is a great way to review your current program. If you haven’t started or if you believe this program doesn’t apply to you, I suggest you consider the general duty clause. This program provides a great mechanism to look at your facility security. All of us need to assure the safety of our systems and facilities.“I’ll have my notebook open during the presentation”. What reviewers have to say:
