CGA’s Security Committee is one of the 25 committees dedicated to supporting the CGA mission of providing technical and safety information through standard development.

Additionally, the Security Committee’s mission is to help protect people, property, environment, information, and reputation by enhancing security in the compressed gas industry. Although its publication library is small compared to other CGA committees, each publication provides essential information and guidance for enhancing your company’s overall security.

• P-50, Standard for Site Security

• P-51, Standard for Transportation Security in the Compressed Gas Industry

• P-52, Security Guidelines for Qualifying Customers Purchasing Compressed Gases

• P-54, Guideline for Enhancing Security Culture

The Security Committee addresses security issues relevant to the compressed gas industry by interfacing with other CGA committees, relevant trade organizations, and regulatory government agencies.  During the time of a national disaster or an incident that will have a significant impact on the compressed gas industry, the Security Committee provides an informational crisis communication system (ICCS) to CGA members. The ICCS will use existing known processes, e.g., Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Infrastructure Coordinating Center (NICC), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), etc.

Throughout the first year of the pandemic, the committee met to share security concerns and resources, and to consider possible solutions for CGA member companies that were impacted by COVID. Keeping member employees and facilities safe is an integral part of the CGA mission, and we strive to keep members informed of critical safety resources from partners that enhance the safety measures you already have in place.
