Chemicals Are Essential Safety & Security Other Critical Assets Economy The chemical industry is the only thing between us and living in huts. Gregory D. L. Morris Museum of American Financial History
Responsible Care® Security Code Analysis of Threats, Vulnerabilities and Consequences Information/Cyber Security Enhanced Security Measures Training, Drills & Guidance 3 Party Verification Leadership Commitment Documentation & Audits Communication Dialogue & Information Exchange Response to Security Threat & Incidence Change Management Continuous Improvement
RCSC Security Management System Document Act Security Measures Security Plans Training & Exercises Communicate Check Independent 3d party verification RCMS 3d party certification Plan Leadership Commitment Prioritize Assess Improve MOC Continuous Improvement The code can be divided into 4 broad actions: Plan by prioritizing and assessing security vulnerabilities to determine what needs to be done and the order in which it need to be done; Take the necessary actions to correct security gaps and enhance overall security; Check and verify that the actions identified have in fact been taken; and Periodically reassess the situation and take measures to address changes. Let’s take a little closer look at each of these elements. Audit
Prioritize Facilities Four Tiers: Tiers 1-3 – serious potential off-site impact Tier 4 – no expected serious off-site impact Based on: Attractiveness of the Target Consequence Severity Likelihood of Success
Assess Security Vulnerabilities Understand Security-Related Risks Prioritize Risks & Identify Countermeasures 4 Categories of Threat: Uncontrolled releases Theft Product contamination Significant economic disruption “Off-Site Impact” could be from any of the 4

Conclusions Chemical Industry - National Strategic Asset Committed to Performance Security is Not Environment or Safety “Plus” Security Important before 11 September; Heightened by 11 September; Remains Critical Today
