Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Webinar and Survey October 11 11am- 12noon (Eastern Standard Time) To register, Click Here. |
| The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) have been in effect since 2007. The requirement to comply with the regulation is triggered by the possession of one or more of a list of chemicals of interest, some of which are commonly found at colleges and universities. DHS has stated that they believe many higher education institutions are unaware of these requirements. The presentation will cover the basics of the regulation, how it might apply to your institution, what to do if you haven't taken action, and the penalties for non-compliance. Time will be provided for questions.
Presenter: Maureen Kotlas, CSP, Executive Director, Department of Environmental Safety, Sustainability & Risk, University of Maryland College Park. The purpose of this survey is to measure your institute's knowledge and compliance with the 2007 Department of Homeland Security's Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS).
