On Friday, an interagency task force convened by President Obama released a report containing recommendations for federal actions to prevent chemical disasters like the April 2013 explosion in West, Texas, that leveled an entire neighborhood. The report was issued by the Interagency Working Group on Chemical Facility Safety and Security, and it includes recommendations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). The recommendations include more safeguards around chemical plants, improved first-responder training and emergency-preparedness measures, and computer upgrades at the Environmental Protection Agency. http://www.securitymanagement.com/
