NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 2008 – ASME in collaboration with Alion Science and Technology will hold five training courses in 2008 on the ASME Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection (RAMCAP™) program.
The 3-day courses to be held once a month from February to June aim to provide security and risk management professionals with the knowledge and skills to implement RAMCAP.
RAMCAP is a framework for analyzing and managing the risks associated with natural disasters and terrorist attacks on chemical refineries, power plants, and other critical infrastructures. Developed under contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, RAMCAP includes a standardized methodology to carry out vulnerability analysis, threat assessment, risk management, and other steps to safeguard facilities, systems, and personnel.
The first of the five training courses is set for Feb. 11-13, 2008, at Alion Science and Technology in Washington, D.C. Alion, a technology solutions firm, has teamed with ASME to provide automated tools for analyzing and managing risks. Jay Robinson, a security and defense analyst at Alion, will provide live instruction in the courses.
The other training dates are March 10-12, April 14-16, May 5-7, and June 9-11. For venues, registration and further information, contact Virginia Murphey at Alion, (703) 998-1670 or vmurphey@alionscience.com.
The course will prepare participants to take the RAMCAP certification exam. Discount exam fees are extended to ASME members.
RAMCAP is a program of the Washington, D.C.-based ASME Innovative Technologies Institute, LLC, which provides technology products and services to the government, industry, and academic markets.
Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME is a not-for-profit professional organization promoting the art, science and practice of mechanical and multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences.
