Interagency report released on improving chemical facility safety and security



On June 6, the Department of Homeland Security, the Environmental Protection Agency, OSHA and other federal partners issued a status report on Executive Order 13650 - Improving Chemical Facility Safety and Security. The status report incorporates feedback from industry, state and local governments, and community stakeholders across the country and provides detailed information on the continued government coordination and collaboration to further reduce risks to chemical facility workers and operators, communities and responders.
President Obama issued the executive order on Aug. 1, 2013 in the wake of the devastating explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas in April 2013. For more information, read the status report and blog.
