FEMA 453 Design Guidance for Shelters and Safe Rooms

Addresses workplace vulnerability to acts of terrorism and identifies
of series of terrorism risk factors (see below) that may elevate
the risk of that facility to terrorism acts. These factors may be
considered in this project as criteria for higher level of in-place
shelter.
In its Worksite Risk Assessment List [http://www.llr.state.sc.us/
workplace/sectone.pdf – 507kb PDF], an employer will be asked
whether the worksite is characterized by any of the following terrorism
risk factors:
m uses, handles, stores or transports hazardous materials;
m provides essential services (e.g., sewer treatment,
electricity, fuels, telephone, etc.);
m has a high volume of pedestrian traffic;
m has limited means of egress, such as a high-rise
complex or underground operations;
m has a high volume of incoming materials (e.g., mail,
imports/exports, raw materials);
m is considered a high profile site, such as a water dam,
military installation, or classified site; or
m is part of the transportation system, such as shipyard,
bus line, trucking, airline.
