Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the steps that entities in possession of potentially dangerous chemicals can take to reduce the risk that those chemicals will be stolen, diverted or weaponised, starting with the identification and assessment of the chemicals that may present a security risk, and concluding with the development and implementation of an appropriate facility security plan. The paper describes the different types of security risks presented by different chemicals, the security concepts a facility should keep in mind when designing its security plan, and the five primary security guideposts that any comprehensive chemical facility security plan should address, namely: detection; delay; response; cyber security; and policies, plans and procedures.
