White House EO to Improve Safety & Security at Chemical Plants

In a Executive Order statement released by the White House earlier this month a number of key priorities are set to be enforced to improve safety and security at chemical plants across the United States.

As a result of the devastating blast at a Texas Fertilising Plant back in April, the US Government have made the following orders and its only a matter of time before the UK and Ireland follow suit.

Here are just some of the main points in the Executive Order:   

• Establishment of the Chemical Facility Safety and Security Working Group
• Improving Operational Coordination with State, Local, and Tribal Partners
• Enhanced Federal Coordination
• Enhanced Information Collection and Sharing
• Policy, Regulation, and Standards Modernisation
• Identification of Best Practices
• General Provisions
