The recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai (on 26 November 2008) brought out very strong need to have review of all security practices followed in the industry and more so in chemical industry. Also ICC is seriously considering to include Security Code in Responsible Care program. The industry is lacking exposure as to what proper security means and what pro-active steps that are required to be taken and improve the security at manufacturing sites. Measures that will be undertaken by the chemical industry in this behalf will also supplement the efforts undertaken by different Government agencies.

In this context INDIAN CHEMICAL COUNCIL is organizing a One-day Seminar on "CHEMICAL INDUSTRY - ADDRESSING SECURITY THREATS" on Friday, 6 February 2009. The venue of the Seminar is Convention Hall, Y. B. Chavan Centre, 4th Floor, Gen. Jaganath Bhosale Marg, Near Mantralaya, Nariman Point, Mumbai - 400 021.

Ms. Orna Sagiv, Consul General of Israel, Mumbai has kindly consented to inaugurate the Seminar.

The Seminar is arranged for creating awareness about security needs. Detailed program of the Seminar is enclosed herewith for your information.
