ISCD Publishes Two New FAQs

Today the DHS Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD) published two new (mainly) frequently asked questions (FAQs) on their Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Knowledge Center. The responses to both FAQs are videos that run about 8 minutes each.

The two new FAQs are:

#1790 What is CFATS?

#1791 What are Reportable Chemicals?

Sharp eyed readers will recognize that ISCD attempted to publish the second FAQ last Friday but had problems with the video. As I reported earlier (as an addendum to the initial post) the FAQ came down yesterday. Today the FAQ was republished (with today’s date as the ‘date published’) and the videos for both FAQs work.

I am not a big fan of video tutorials, but that probably has more to do with my age than the efficacy of medium. Both videos are fairly typical of the quality one expects to see on video tutorials on YouTube. That is not a criticism, just a statement on the lack of “professional production values” folks of my era would expect to see in a training film.
