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
