Vulnerability & Risks

Chemical and pharmaceutical facilities should conduct security vulnerability assessments to identify their security weaknesses and develop and implement site security plans for a wide range of potential security situations and scenarios. These plans must meet risk-based performance standards and protect critical infrastructure. Here are some of the most common ones

• Release Risk: Refers to the potential for the discharge of hazardous, flammable, or explosive substances from a facility, which could lead to severe harm or danger to human life and well-being.
• Theft or Diversion Risk: Involves materials that, if they fall into the wrong hands, could be misused as weapons or readily converted into weapons through simple chemical processes, equipment, or techniques, posing a significant threat to human life and health.
• Sabotage or Contamination Risk: Relates to the possibility of combining certain chemicals or materials with readily available substances, resulting in substantial harm or peril to human life and health.
