OBJECTIVE

The primary goals of the Workshop are to review chemical security and its relationship to chemical safety, to review the properties of most significant classes of chemical hazards, including dual-use chemicals and hazardous industrial chemicals, to discuss the principles of chemical security risk assessment and facility vulnerability assessment, to review main components of chemical security for industrial sites, focusing on physical protection, cyber security, and material accountability, and to discuss the importance of monitoring chemical inventory and securing chemicals at all distribution points.

Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories, managed and operated by the Sandia Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin), is a major United States Department of Energy research and development national laboratory.

Sandia National Laboratories has the mission to anticipate and resolve emerging national security challenges, innovate and discover new technologies to strengthen the nation's technological superiority, to create value through products and services that solve important national security challenges, and to inform the national debate where technology policy is critical to preserving security and freedom throughout our world. 

Within this mission space, Sandia has defined a specific strategic unit focusing on the reduction of chemical and biological dangers across the globe: Reducing Global Chemical and Biological Dangers (RGCBD).  RGCBD's mission was defined in an Oct 2015 strategic plan as to provide effective advice, analysis, technologies, and enterprise-level solutions to manage the highest-priority risks associated with dangerous chemical and biological agents around the world. 

There will be presentations by Sandia National Laboratories and experts from ICC during the Workshop.  From Sandia National Laboratories, USA Ms. Sue Caskey, Principle Member of the Technical Staff - International Biological and Chemical Threat Reduction Program and Mr. Bruce Berry, Senior Member of the Technical Staff in the International Biological and Chemical Threat Reduction Department will be making presentations during the Workshop.  (Brief CV is appended hereunder for your reference).

MR. BRUCE BERRY, Senior Member of the Technical Staff in the International Biological and Chemical Threat Reduction Department, Sandia National Laboratories:

Mr. Bruce Berry has been an employee of Sandia National Laboratories since August 1990. He is presently a Senior Member of Technical Staff in the International Biological and Chemical Threat Reduction Department at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bruce recently moved from the International Nuclear Security Engineering Department, where he focused on international nuclear security.  Bruce brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in various aspects of physical protection (vulnerability assessment, security culture, human capacity building, threat analysis, and system effectiveness measurement), risk assessment methodologies, and emergency management.  He has been engaged in multiple international security projects during his career at Sandia, including physical security upgrades projects and the development of nuclear security training programs with the IAEA.

Much of the work entails conducting workshops on physical security topics. He has also been working with many sites to perform Systems Effectiveness Analysis and Vulnerability Analysis resulting in the recommendation of system upgrades, cost estimate, installation schedule estimate, and projected performance improvement. Bruce has completed vulnerability assessments at multiple Department of Defense facilities, Department of Energy sites, private commercial sites and many international sites.

Bruce has developed and taught courses in Risk Assessment Methodology and Nuclear Security. These classes covered the entire methodology to perform a risk/vulnerability assessment for a facility. Bruce has extensive experience teaching international workshops and courses both for the International Atomic Energy Agency and the National Nuclear Security Administration.

He also serves as an Incident Commander for the NM Department of Public Safety, Search and Rescue. In addition to his electrical engineering (MS) background, Bruce studied both chemistry (BS) and biology (BS) during his undergraduate career.
