Project REVISE
A FREE Interactive Simulation Specifically Designed for Laboratory Personnel to Enhance Learning and Awareness in Counter Terrorism - Available Through Your Local CTSA
The use of chemicals within industry and as ingredients in commercially available products is very widespread and extremely diverse. The dual use of some of these chemicals in the manufacture of home made explosives (HME) is well documented and there are numerous examples of attacks around the world perpetrated with improvised explosive devices incorporating hazardous materials.
One of the recommendations of the Lord West review of the UK government’s CONTEST strategy is to highlight this potential misuse of hazardous materials to those who legitimately and routinely use them. The academic community is specifically mentioned and the intention is to raise their awareness about the potential threat these materials present. NaCTSO was appointed to develop an awareness raising product for delivery to the academic centre. This product is called REVISE.
The REVISE event is a structured multi-media package which will be facilitated by the locally based Counter Terrorism Security Advisers (CTSAs) at individual higher education institutions across the UK. CTSAs will work closely with their university colleagues to identify and encourage the implementation of policies, procedures and appropriate protective security measures to reduce the unauthorised accessibility to hazardous materials and so reduce the overall threat.
If you require further information about the REVISE package or would like to arrange an event please contact your local police CTSA or email NaCTSO NaCTSO@btconnect.com.
