The terrorist threat is real. But who is the Terrorist? In our business and industries unless we are a large conglomerate we are unlikely to be the subject of attack from international extremists and the like. As business owners, we are more likely to be attacked by a disgruntled customer or a recently dismissed employee out for revenge. Sometimes it might be bodies such as animal rights activists or other protest groups. We have to be aware that these people do attack businesses to raise awareness of their cause. One of the ways they do this is to send unsuspecting businesses packages that are designed to cause havoc or harm through the post. In extreme cases, they have been known to send items that can kill, So are your staff aware of what to do if they receive a package in the mail that is showing the telltale signs of a letter bomb or other harmful device? The Safety Train Suspect Package Awareness course is a short presentation where we provide the information to make your staff aware of the potential dangers in your mail. We talk about the makeup of certain devices, how they work and what harm they are designed to cause. Then we look at what to do in the event that a package is discovered. Explaining the four "Cs" and the seven "Ss" will prepare the staff to cope should a device arrive at your work. What we train is to avoid panic, fear and chaos. We talk about safe evacuation, preparing the package for the authorities and all manner of precautions needed in such a situation. We go on to discuss machines that might X-ray the packages although we are in no way connected with any companies who manufacture and sell these so there is no sales pitch involved. The trainer worked for 22 years with the Police Service support and was responsible for the security of bulk amounts of mail received daily, so you can be sure the information provided is correct. He backs his talk up with as much practical evidence as is permitted along with graphic video clips so the presentation is not all "doom and gloom" Contact us now for further details You can't be too careful
