Completing the Top Screen: Compliance Advice for Universities on the New Chemical Security Rules  Brought to you by the Campus Safety, Health and Environmental Management Association and the National Association of College and University Business Officers
The clock will start ticking soon. Colleges and universities that possess certain chemicals of interest—those that pose a security risk for release, theft, or sabotage—in amounts exceeding thresholds recently released by the Department of Homeland Security will need to provide detailed information to DHS by mid-January. Join campus experts for an overview of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standard (CFATS) and practical advice on how to approach compliance.
Learn what you need to know to decide:
…IF your institution needs to file the online Top Screen survey
…WHO should register as institutional representatives
…HOW to narrow your list of chemicals to inventory
…WHETHER you should request an extension
…HOW to define a “facility” for reporting purposes
The presenters, key members of an interassociation committee that has been interacting with DHS about CFATS over the last six months, will share ideas on the steps institutions need to take now and respond to questions from participants.
Note: Universities with significant research endeavors are most likely to be covered by CFATS, but some smaller institutions with certain types of facilities (such as power plants using ammonia or agricultural operations) or unusual research may find that they exceed the reporting threshold for one or more chemicals of interest. Refer to the CSHEMA Web site at www.cshema.org for additional information.
