I posted the following to my social media feeds (X, Mastodon, Substack, and LinkedIn):

• I posted the following response to an article on LinkedIn about “Building a Board-Ready OT Materiality Framework Before You Need It”: “An interesting and informative discussion, but I think you missed an important piece in your discussion on Chemical Safety Board reporting under Dimension 4. CSB reporting responsibilities are specifically not restricted to “facilities handling threshold quantities”. The release reporting is for ‘extremely hazardous substances’ defined at 40 CFR 1604.2 as “any substance which may cause death, serious injury, or substantial property damage, including but not limited to, any “regulated substance” at or below any threshold quantity set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator under 42 U.S.C. 7412(r)(5).””

• I posted the following to a discussion on X about an article describing the military problems associated with American forces taking Iran’s Kharg Island: “Great discussion, but it misses another force protection issue, combat in and around a large chemical facility. Chemical exposure issues, fires and explosions during and after occupation.”
