Chemical plants warned about fake surveys
Chemical plants are being warned not to divulge security and safety procedures to a caller who claims to be conducting a survey for an industry trade group. The caller gave a false phone number and the group is not conducting a survey. At least three such calls were made this month to plants in the Midwest, but no information was divulged, according to the Center for Chemical Process Safety, an industry group based in New York that sent an alert. “There is concern, in light of recent terrorist activity, that this may be an attempt to determine security vulnerabilities in the chemical process,” said the letter sent Tuesday to 31,000 members of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the parent group of CCPS.
The calls raised concern in New Jersey, which has many plants, said Elvin Montero, a spokesman for the Chemistry Council of New Jersey. “It’s taken seriously. Companies know the procedures to take,” Montero said Friday. “Companies do not discuss their process safety or security measures over the phone, especially to someone they don’t know.” Montero declined to speculate on why such calls were made, but said the FBI and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness had been informed. FBI spokesman Richard Kolko in Washington said the agency was aware of the report and is looking into it. A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Russ Knocke, said the matter had not yet been brought to his agency.
