One Day Program Outline
Security Risk Assessment Procedures: Countering Terrorism and Other Threats (1 Day Seminar)
This one-day seminar examines a risk management approach to providing confidence that a building or infrastructure system will perform in acceptable ways (consequences) in various threat environments. The three primary threat environments include not only terrorism, but broadly
- Malevolent (crime and terrorism)
- Normal (aging and deterioration)
- Abnormal (natural disasters)
Architectural Surety® is concerned with the areas where safety, security, and reliability overlap. By addressing these concerns systematically and simultaneously, multiple hazards can be addressed and mitigated. This seminar will address Infrastructure and Architectural Surety and will provide an introduction to an important Architectural Surety tool, a systematic and robust Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM) developed by Sandia National Laboratories.
The Security Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM) process developed by Sandia National Laboratories for dams and power transmission was recognized by the Federal Laboratory Council as an outstanding R & D project for 2002.Concepts and tools such as the risk assessment procedures, threat and consequence assessments, vulnerability assessment, fault trees, protection system effectiveness, consequence mitigation, likelihood of attack, and adversary sequence diagrams will be introduced and demonstrated.
You will learn how this systematic approach identifies, assesses, and manages risks to buildings and facilities used to improve the safety, security, and reliability of the built environment. You will be introduced to lean thinking upgrades to the security risk assessment process
This program condenses an ASCE 2 1/2 day Seminar. The 2 1/2 day Seminar team’s and drills participants on module concepts, on risk assessment matrix exercises and on presenting and refining results. It includes case study discussion of recent events .
