The Chlorine Institute is actively engaged in the regulatory process and representing members on issues that affect the chlor-alkali industry. CI is also a member of the Chemical (Security) Sector Coordinating Council and has provided support in the Jack Rabbit release trials, sponsored by DHS.
CI has a strong working relationship with the CSB whose chairperson, Vaessa Allen Sutherland, was a featured speaker at CI's 2016 Annual Meeting. In one instance, CI received a recommendation to update certain pamphlets and the recommendation was later closed after appropriate enhancements were made in various pamphlets.
