Supply Chain and Cargo Security Risk Management

Truck hijackings on the N3 and N1 corridors, cargo theft at rail sidings and pilferage inside distribution centres each demand a different control response. This course equips logistics, warehouse and security staff to assess cargo risk across the transport chain, secure loads and seals, screen drivers and third party carriers, and coordinate with police and industry crime prevention units when a load is compromised.
